I have a select list with this code:

 \<% @products.each do |product| %\> \> \<%= product.name%\> \<% end %\>

In this select list the user can see the product names. I think it is  
possible to do that in one line. How can I do that?

I beleive the SELECT ActionView Helper is what you are looking for.

something like collection\_select :ticket, :product\_id,  
@products, :id, :name  
should do the trick.
