How can I set selected value on select_tag

This is my select_tag code:

<%=select_tag ‘project_version_select’,
options_for_select(@project_versions)%>

How can I set the selected value for this select box?

Look at the documentation for #options_for_select (see
http://www.railsbrain.com/api/rails-2.2.2/doc/index.html?a=M002023&name=options_for_select).
It takes a second argument which specifies which option should be
selected.

Or instead use

@my_model_object = look_it_up()
select ‘my_model_object’, ‘my_attribute’,
my_map_of_strings_and_values

the non-_tag versions of all the helpers are much better because they
enforce
cleaner controller actions, and they are aware of your objects and
members so
they can make them sticky.
