how can I do that in one line?

I have a select list with this code:

<select name="ticket[product_id]">    <% @products.each do |product| %>              <option value="<%= product.id %>"            <%= ' selected' if product.id == @ticket.product_id %>>       <%= product.name%>     </option>          <% end %>

In this select list the user can see the product names. I think it is possible to do that in one line. How can I do that?

something like collection_select :ticket, :product_id,
@products, :id, :name should do the trick.

I beleive the SELECT ActionView Helper is what you are looking for.
