\<%=country\_select ‘user’, ‘country’%\>

I have the above field, how can I add a class to this?

The api says this, if someone could explain how to get to the  
html\_options bit, without the others, that would be great?

country\_select(object, method, priority\_countries = nil, options = {},  
html\_options = {})

I’m not sure, I’ve been just doing:  
\<%=country\_select ‘user’, ‘country’, nil, {}, {:class=\>‘some-class’} %\>

but I’m hoping there’s a nicer way. If there isn’t, you could always  
create your own helper which uses the existing one.
