Hello, In actionpack/lib/action_view/helpers/form_options_helper.rb (trunk) @ ~296 in the def to_select_tag(choices, options, html_options) function, why is there add_default_name_and_id(html_options) instead of add_default_name_and_id(options) This is inconsistent with the non-select helpers where add_default_name_and_id always use options.

When I was trying to build a form using the facebook_form_for helper, I realized that the controller was getting values from datetime_select correctly but was missing data from the text fields. I narrowed down the issue to add_default_name_and_id method and when changed it from def add_default_name_and_id(options,method) options[:name] = "#{object.class.name.downcase}[#{method}]" options[:id] ||= "#{object.class.name.downcase}_#{method}" end to def add_default_name_and_id(optio...

Can someone explain why form helpers appear to bypass any model methods I override for fields that are bound to database fields? It would be great if someone could tell me how to force the form field, etc to call the method instead of looking at the database / attributes collection. Let''s say I have a column called ''price'' in my database table "books"

I have in my view the following: <% 0.upto(@num_performances) do |idx| -%> <%= text_field ''performance'', ''city'', :index => idx, %> <%= text_field ''performance'', ''venue'', :index => idx, %> <% end -%> and in my controller I have: @performance = [Performance.new("city" =>
