I currently have a drop down menu selection in an input form with
hardcoded values, the problem I’m having is I want to use multiple word
entries that users can select from, is there anyway of doing that?
here is my code as it exists now
<%= f.label :category, “Category” %>
<%= select ‘article’, ‘category’, %w(Cooperation
EnvironmentalSustainability BusinessDevelopment Transportation
Streetscape DenseMixedUse) %>
obviously I need some of these to be two words as one entry instead of
being multiple entries
please help!

Just skip the shorthand:
[‘Cooperation’, ‘Environmental Sustainability’, ‘Business Development’,
‘Transportation’, ‘Streetscape’, ‘Dense Mixed Use’ ]
Even better might be a model to return the choices.
class Category
def self.choices_for_select
[‘Cooperation’, ‘Environmental Sustainability’, ‘Business
Development’,
‘Transportation’, ‘Streetscape’, ‘Dense Mixed Use’ ]
end
end
<%= select ‘article’, ‘category’, Category.choices_for_select %>

It should also work by escaping the spaces:
%w{Cooperation
Environmental\ Sustainability Business\ Development Transportation
Streetscape Dense\ Mixed\ Use}
Note: noticed the curly braces %w{list of words}
thanks guys, that was perfect
