Hi. I just want to ask some help regarding my simple project. i''m a rails newbie and right now, quite stuck with this. I have this select_tag in my rhtml.. <%= select_tag ''search[outcome]'', options_for_select(["", "qp1", "qp2", "Not Processed"], (params[:search] && params[:search][:outcome])) %> it works fine. But now, I want to get the distinct values of my options_for_select from my database table, green. how can i do this in my controller and view? thanks. -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.
