Select helper

Rails
1

I am trying to figure out how to use the “select” helper in changing a
scaffold produced “new.html.erb” file. Specifically how do I change:

    Year In School: <%= f.text_field :year %>

so that this shows up as a “drop down box”.

I’ve tried different variations of

<%= f.select :year %>

but that never works.
Any help?

try this

<%= f.select :year ,Time.now.year-100…Time.now.year %>

Nope, that doesn’t work. To clarify, the year part is supposed to be a
pull down select menu of “Senior, Junior, Sophomore, Freshman”
