Are you trying to assign an employee, customer, and a product to some
other model? Such as this?

class Post < ActiveRecord::Base
has_one :employee
has_one :customer
has_one :product
end

If so then is not too hard.

<%= select ‘post’, ‘employee_id’,
Empolyee.find(:all).collect {|emp| [emp.name, emp.id]} %>

<%= select ‘post’, ‘customer_id’,
Customer.find(:all).collect {|cus| [cus.name, cus.id]} %>

<%= select ‘post’, ‘product_id’,
Product.find(:all).collect {|prod| [prod.name, prod.id]} %>

You can simply call you find methods on your classes from your view.

Or if you actually want three different models in your view:

#Controller
def new
@employee = Employee.new
@customer = Customer.new
@product = Product.new
end

def create
Employee.create(params[:employee])
Customer.create(params[:customer])
Product.create(params[:product])
end

#View new.rhtml
<%= form_tag :action => ‘create’ %>
<%= text_field ‘employee’, ‘name’ %>
<%= text_field ‘customer’, ‘email’ %>
<%= text_field ‘product’, ‘price’ %>
<%= submit_tag ‘Create’ %>
<%= end_form_tag %>
