how to have select_tag in form_form

Question

usually in form_for

I do p.text_field :my_colum_name

but what if I have a select tag?

I tried following but did not work

<%=p.select_tag :conditions,options_for_select([ "a", "b", "c" ], "a") %>

it says select_tag is an undefined method

Answer 1

never mind.

<%=p.select_tag :conditions,options_for_select([ "a", "b", "c" ], "a") %>

works

Answer 2

What you want is this:

<%= p.select :conditions, [ "a", "b", "c" ] %>

Two changes: (1) select is the method name when using a FormBuilder, and (2) it takes an array of options, without options_for_select (it knows the current value from the object stored in the FormBuilder).
