Hi i am a newbee at rails and i am using the country_select and select drop down boxes in my new.rhtml I can make these work fine but when i try viewing it in my database and show and index they just wont appear, I have tried to edited it to how do I go about showing these items everywhere i am completely stuck.

if text field = f.text_field then why doesnt country_select = f.country_select or f.select?

<div class="address"> <% fields_for "supplier[address_attributes]", address do |f|%>

<p><b>Country</b><br /><%= country_select (:country,"country",["United Kingdom"]) %></p>

Try referencing f.country instead of f.country_select. You need to use the id of the form field, which is "country" in this case. Take a look at the HTML that the browser gets when you're looking at this form - it might help.

If that doesn't help, please post your related view code, controller code, and an output of log/development.log that shows what happens when you submit the form. The log output should show you which parameters are being passed.
