Hai Kris ,
I am also a newbie in ROR.Hope this will help you.....
case 1:(If your table has only distinct elements, go for
collection_select)
eg.
Here we hav a "District" table with fields "id" and "name"
index.html.erb
<%= collection_select(nil, :district_id, @districts, :id,
:name,{:include_blank=>'All'},{})
controller
def index
@districts=District.find(:all)
end
case 2:(If your table has duplicate elements and you want only distinct
elements to be populated in it)
eg:
Here we hav a "Station" table with one field as "district"
index.html.erb
<%= select(:post,:district, @districts,{:include_blank=>'All'},{} )%>
controller
def index
@districts = Station.find(:all, :select=>'district', :order
=>"district").map{ |t| t.district }.uniq
end
