Select_tag help

Rails
1

Hi All,

controller:

def html
@tag1=[“Arun”,“Babu”,Chitra"]
end

html.html.erb :

<%= select_tag
“@tag1”,"#{@tag1[0]}#{@tag1[1]}
"%>

It was working fine. But my question is any other simple ways are
available. Because i have array in controller, but using individually in
view…

Awaiting your reply

Thanks

@tag=[“a”,“b”,“c”,“d”]
@collection=[]

@tag.each do |value|
  value="<option>"+value+"</option>"
  @collection << value
  end

end

<%= select_tag “@tag12”, @collection.to_s %>

you can try
<%= select_tag @tag12, options_for_select( @tag )

Hi Laskar,

Thanks a lot for ur quick and beautiful code help.

Now try this one.

The @yo object has a list of ids from the a model called Mod.

We need this to make the ids sticky in the form:

form_for :yo do |f|

f.collection_select(:ids, Mod.find(:all), :id, :name)

The problem is, even after we make all that pseudo-Rails into real Rails
code,
with all the right arguments, the ids are not sticky.

(Sticky means if you serve the page twice with the same @yo object, the
same Mod
items should still be selected.)

Any ideas? We had to go back to select_tag, and generally do for
ourselves
everything f.collection_select was supposed to do.
