collection_select issues with rails

rubyonrails-talk

data = ActiveSupport::JSON.decode(response.body)

@catg = data[“cat”]

i have to populate the dropdown with id and name from @catg, when i display this @catg i got like this

[{“created_at”=>“2012-03-31T05:50:27Z”, “id”=>1, “name”=>“None”, “updated_at”=>“2012-03-31T05:50:27Z”}]

so how to get this into dropdown, and also i tried like this, actually i didn’t understand the first two fields of collection_select, but here just i guess that.

<%= form_for(@biz) do |f| %>

<%= collection_select :post,:categories, @catg, :id, :name %>

<% end %>

Got the error

undefined method `name' for #<Hash:0xb27db74>
