Hi,

I have this code for a select box,

\<%= select(“plugin”, “plugcats”, Plugcats.find\_all.collect {|p| [  
p.title, p.id ] }, { :include\_blank =\> true }) %\>

at the minute it extracts teh requried data, but submits the data as  
params[‘plugin’][‘plugcats’]

how can I get it to submit it as [‘plugin’][‘plugcat\_id’]

thanks

\<%= select(“plugin”, “plugcat\_id”, Plugcats.find\_all.collect {|p| [  
p.title, p.id ] }, { :include\_blank =\> true }) %\>
