Using Rails 2, I have multiple objects in a form and am using fields_for. My
problem is creating a multi select and sending that off to the controller as
a hash.

In my erb, I have ....

<% teacher.fields_for :qualifications do |qual_form| %>
  <%= qual_form.select [], @qualifications, {  :multiple => true, :size =>
5, :disabled => false } %>

which produces a non-multi select .....

<select id="teacher_qualifications_" name="teacher[qualifications][]">
<option value="5">Licence</option>
<option value="1">NPLQ</option>
<option value="3">Teacher's Level One</option>
<option value="4">Teacher's Level Two</option>
<option value="2">Teacher's Rescue Test</option>
</select>


which sends "qualifications"=>["5"] to the controller and not
qualifications"=> { ["5"] }

The HTML produced looks almost right but isn't. I can send a hash of
information with a <%= qual_form.text_field :id %> for example but I need a
select.

I've tried select_tag and although I'm able to get a multi select going on,
I still can't send a hash.

<%= select_tag "teacher[qualifications][]", options_for_select(
@qualifications, @selected_qualifications ),
                 {  :multiple => true, :size => 5, :disabled => false, :id
=> "qualifications" } %>

Can someone help me,  please.

Thank you
