I have a drop down using collection_select
<%= form.collection_select(:country,@countries, :name, :name,options ={:prompt => t('services.req_form.country_prompt')}, :escape => false ) %>
I read somewhere that putting :escape => false in the options would disable character escaping.
This does not seem to work. I am using the unicode values for french accents and need to display the accent. However Rails helper escapes the ampersand so I get the wrong code "&" instead of "&".
How can I stop this from happening.
Thanks
