The select helper for fields\_for does not properly handle settings for  
onchange.

In other words, x.select fails to add any onchange options, but  
x.text\_field does

e.g.  
\<%= c.text\_field :carrier, :size=\>“30”, :onchange =\> “return  
limitslist();” %\>  
correctly yields

but  
\<%= c.select :cvg\_desc, %w{ GL AL EL zz }, :onchange =\> “return  
limitslist();” %\>  
yields

Is this a known bug?

Thanks for any help
