Last night, I upgraded one of my rails apps to 1.1. This app uses  
Markaby exclusively for its’ views, and once I checked out the latest  
revisiong of Markaby (r33), everything was working fine except for one  
thing:

select\_tag(‘province\_id’, options\_from\_collection\_for\_select(@provinces,  
“id”, “name”))

Now returns this (as you see it is spitting out the options both before  
and after the opening select tag):

\<option value=“2”\>Alberta\</option\>  
  
\<option value=“1”\>British Columbia\</option\>  
  
\<option value=“5”\>Manitoba\</option\>  
  
\<option value=“8”\>New Brunswick\</option\>  
  
\<option value=“9”\>Newfoundland\</option\>  
  
\<option value=“12”\>Northwest Territories\</option\>  
  
\<option value=“7”\>Nova Scotia\</option\>  
  
\<option value=“13”\>Nunavut\</option\>  
  
\<option value=“6”\>Ontario\</option\>  
  
\<option value=“10”\>Prince Edward Island\</option\>  
  
\<option value=“3”\>Québec\</option\>  
  
\<option value=“4”\>Saskatchewan\</option\>  
  
\<option value=“11”\>Yukon Territory\</option\>\<select  
id=“province\_id” name=“province\_id”\>\<option  
value=“2”\>Alberta\</option\>  
  
\<option value=“1”\>British Columbia\</option\>  
  
\<option value=“5”\>Manitoba\</option\>  
  
\<option value=“8”\>New Brunswick\</option\>  
  
\<option value=“9”\>Newfoundland\</option\>  
  
\<option value=“12”\>Northwest Territories\</option\>  
  
\<option value=“7”\>Nova Scotia\</option\>  
  
\<option value=“13”\>Nunavut\</option\>  
  
\<option value=“6”\>Ontario\</option\>  
  
\<option value=“10”\>Prince Edward Island\</option\>  
  
\<option value=“3”\>Québec\</option\>  
  
\<option value=“4”\>Saskatchewan\</option\>  
  
\<option value=“11”\>Yukon Territory\</option\>\</select\>

Any Markaby users seeing this behavior? Using the same tag in an rhtml  
view works as expected.

Well after some help from \_why, problem solved. Any helpers are  
automatically output to the stream, so you have to change the call to:

select\_tag(‘province\_id’,  
@helpers.options\_from\_collection\_for\_select(@provinces, “id”, “name”))

Just an update to this. This appears to be an issue with r33 of Markaby  
in general, and appears in both Rails 1.1 and 1.0. I was able to get  
things working well by exporting the tagged version 0.3 of Markaby into  
my markaby folder in vendor/plugins.

svn export [http://code.whytheluckystiff.net/svn/markaby/tags/0.3/](http://code.whytheluckystiff.net/svn/markaby/tags/0.3/)  
vendor/plugins/markaby/ --force

So far, so good…
