Hi,  
I am using rails 2.3.5 with ruby 1.8.7. On using  
options\_for\_select/options\_from\_collection\_for\_select with select\_tag I  
get the following error:

wrong number of arguments (1 for 0)

This the code I am using in my view:

\<%= select\_tag :list\_filter, options\_for\_select(“All” =\> “all”,“Top  
Contribution” =\> “top\_contributors”, “Top Questioners” =\>  
“top\_questioners”, “Top High Quality General Purpose Experts” =\>  
“general\_experts”, “Most Influential” =\> “most\_networked”, “Most  
decorated” =\> “most\_decorated”, “Most commonly sought after experts” =\>  
“most\_sought”, “Best All round Experts” =\> “experts”) %\>

The complete error in the browser is as follows:

ArgumentError in Teams#edit

Showing app/views/teams/edit.html.erb where line #15 raised:

wrong number of arguments (1 for 0)

Extracted source (around line #15):

12: \< br/ \>

14: \<%= label\_tag “Team Member” %\>  
15: \<%= select\_tag :list\_filter, options\_for\_select( “All” =\>

Hi Anjali,

Try using brace brackets.

\<%= select\_tag :list\_filter, options\_for\_select({“All” =\>  
“all”, “Top Contribution” =\> “top\_contributors”, “Top Questioners” =\>  
“top\_questioners”, “Top High Quality General Purpose Experts” =\>  
“general\_experts”, “Most Influential” =\> “most\_networked”, “Most  
decorated” =\> “most\_decorated”, “Most commonly sought after experts” =\>  
“most\_sought”, “Best All round Experts” =\> “experts”}) %\>

Might Help.

Regards,

Saurabh
