Hi,  
I’m trying to insert the above call into a rails form , except that the  
field I want displayed does’nt exist  
in the model for which the view is written. Can someone tell me what  
exactly  
the method parameter  
is there for, and what it does as it is the only thing that is  
preventing my  
call from working.

Mark
