If not text_field, then what?

Rails

I want the show.rhtml to generate a drop down list (I’ll deal with
populating that list later). What’s the syntax please to generate a
drop-
down list?

All code at: http://strawr.googlecode.com/svn/

Here’s what I have:

thufir@arrakis ~/Desktop $
thufir@arrakis ~/Desktop $ tail strawr/app/views/feeds/show.rhtml

<%= start_form_tag :action => ‘record’, :id => @category %>

<%= text_field 'category', 'category'%>

<%= submit_tag 'Record!' %> <%= end_form_tag %>

thufir@arrakis ~/Desktop $

thanks,

Thufir

See the select helpers. http://rails.rubyonrails.com/ has nice
documentation.

HTH,

Thanks, it certainly gets me started. I have an empty list and am now
working on a query of the “categories” table to populate the list with
all the categories:

thufir@arrakis ~/Desktop/strawr $
thufir@arrakis ~/Desktop/strawr $ tail app/views/feeds/show.rhtml -n 2

thufir@arrakis ~/Desktop/strawr $

http://strawr.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/app/views/feeds/show.rhtml

thanks,

Thufir
