How to make the f.select rails selected

Question

It\'s my code:

<%= f.select :area, options_for_select([[\'a\',\'a\'],[\'b\',\'b\'],[\'c\',\'c\']]), {}, {:class => \'span3 controls controls-row\'}, :selec         


        

Answer 1

No need to use :selected just pass your params[:area] alone to options_for_select as a second argument:

<%= f.select :area, 
    options_for_select([['a','a'],['b','b'],['c','c']], params[:area]),
    {}, { :class => 'span3 controls controls-row' } %>

The last value of your params[:area] will be selected.
