Hey was wondering how to setup a select box that when I call
Model.new(params[:model]) it will automatically putit into the db…
I tried
0
…
then when I do @home = Home.new(params[:home]) that field doesnt insert
into the db… any ideas?

Did you remember to execute @home.save afterward?

Well it saves all the other information into the database, except for
that one field… the select field.

Hey Ray,
if the Home attribute is “bedrooms”, as in Home.new().bedrooms, and
you are getting params[:home] then the name attribute of your select
tag should be “home[bedrooms]”.
The rails form helpers will keep you on the right track here:
http://api.rubyonrails.com/classes/ActionView/Helpers/
FormOptionsHelper.html#M000399
as in <%= select :home, :bedrooms, [0,1,2,3,4,5] %>
will create a select box with a name of home[bedrooms] with an option
list from 0 through 5. Although I’ve not tried it you could probably
use a ruby “Range” of (0…5) as well.
