Ruby on Rails

Thanks for your help!

> =band_form.label "Select from saved Bands"
> =collection_select(band, :saved_band_name, @bands, :band_name,
> :band_name, {:selected => @selected_band})

That first argument to collection_select should be the name of the
attribute, ie a symbol or string rather than an actual instance of
band. The easy way would be to use the form builder, ie
band_form.collection_form :saved_band_name, ... just like you're doing
with other form inputs.

---------------

I really didn't know I could use collection select in this way, thanks
for the tip, not quite sure how it's working, but

band_form.collection_select :saved_band_name, @bands, :band_name,
:band_name, {:selected => @selected_band}

seems to be passing the selected band name through exactly as it should
be :-))
