Ok.. I have been doing some experimentation.. and honestly, now I am beginning to get a bit ticked off with how inconsistently this is being handled....
For example, if you replace the f.select() in my example code with: select_tag("working", options_for_select([["", ""], ["Yes", true], ["No",false]], @testing.working)) it WORKS! (well minus the posting values back to the form and having it update the database since its not in the model.. HOWEVER: f.select (:working, [["", ""], ["Yes", true], ["No", false]], {:selected => @testing.working}) does NOT work. REALLY?! In fact I changed the selections choices to have ["first", "first"] ahead of the "" choice to test a theory that it wasn't actually matching _anything_... and it turns out that's what its doing, for the case of "false" it doesn't actually match ANYTHING. you can replace ":selected => false" and it won't work, it will select "Yes".. go ahead, try it.)... HOWEVER, it works just fine with select_tag?! AUUUGH. I've been through the rails code a couple of times, but I cannot see where this obtuse bug is laying. -- David E.
