I have a drop down in my forms.
Year Manufactured The value needs to be from 1970 -- current year
In the new form i am using the following code
<select name="vehicle[year_made]"
id="vehicle_year_made">
<option value="0" selected="selected">-- Select
--</option>
<%= options_from_collection_for_select((1970..Time.now.year).collect
{|p| [ p, p ] }, "first", "last") %>
</select>
I want to be able to show the items in reverse order. Where the most
recent year shows first.
Also in the edit form i want similar code but with the selected item to
be the one that is present in the database. How can i achieve this?

I still need to have a custom value like -- Select -- added in there. And also for edit time, how do i make it that it shows the value from db already selected? -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.
