Hi All,

I’ve looked at a few of my Rails 2 books & Google to no avail in the  
effort to find an example of using a drop-down control. Any  
suggestions (especially a URL or two)?

Thanks in Advance,  
Richard

Hi there,

Premature posting. It just dawned on me to Google for “Rails acts as  
dropdown”. That seems very fruitful, so I don’t think I need any  
help. Nevertheless, I’ll accept any that’s offered 🙂

Best wishes,  
Richard

You can also look at collection\_select & the rest of the form helpers.
