Stupid one: anybody have problems with the select helper not selecting an item? There are no integer values for my options (they''re all strings), so it''s not the usual integer/string conversion problem I''ve read about. Imagine "Red," "Green," and "Blue." The value in the database is "Green," but it isn''t displaying the selection, only the first item (Red). I get as far as InstanceTag.to_select_tag and can see that "Green" is set as the selected_value. It''s someplace after that, apparently, where things get messed up. The name of the form element is correctly set to the model attribute, such as shirt[color]. I''ll keep debugging but am wondering if there''s some trick here I''m not aware of. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.
