[Rails] Re: Can't get select helper to populate dropdown w/default v

[Peter Jagielski]

Guys,

Ok, problem solved.  I changed my hash from:

YESNO = { "No" => "0",
          "Yes" => "1" }

to:

YESNO = { "No" => 0,
          "Yes" => 1 }

The field's type in my table is SMALLINT, so now the hash matches. 
So...the following code works:

<%= select 'user', 'administrator', Bug::YESNO, :include_blank => TRUE 
%>

Thanks Kevin & Nick!  Happy New Year!

Hope this helps the other folks getting this kind of thing to work!
