Adding a List to a rhtml file

Rails
1

I am a bit confused on the easiest way to add a drop down list on a
page,
that is all data from another table? It seems there
would be a gem or package made to do this. It has to be
pretty common stuff.

If a user picks an item from the list, I just want the id,
to store in a field in the active table.

how are you handling this? i was looking at acts_as_list.

any suggestions?

i have to do this a lot, so i was wondering. like, are you making
static lists for web page.

thanks
