Fix your form accordingly. Once you have done that, and once u have the select box looking as you want it, choose a location and hit submit. Check the development log for the parameters hash and dump it here. Or, you could do raise params.to_yaml in the first line of you 'index' action. This will output all the contents of the params hash onto the webpage. Copy that and put it here. Just put the content of the params when you submit the form, here.
