How best to do this?
I have the following code:
<%= collection_select(:country, :id, @country_list, :id, :country_name,
options ={:prompt => "-- Select a country --"}, :class
=>"country") %>
How can I ensure that this the is validated correctly?
I have tried validates_prescence_of, but does not seem to work when I
select an actual country - it says:
Country can''t be blank
Any idea what this could mean or how should I do this?

Look in development.log to see what values are being passed to the controller. If necessary use ruby-debug to break in to the controller at the save to see what you have put into the record being saved. See the Rails Guide on debugging if you do not know how to do this.

Thanks Colin,
The development log looks like its going to be useful in the future.
This is what I get for the country:
country"=>{"id"=>"6"}, so it looks like a value
has been selected, but
the validation still fails...
