This is sort of a strange one.
I had the following abbreviated form:
<% form_for :product, :url => {:action => "preview_item", :id => @product}, :html => {:multipart => true} do |form| %> form.collection_select(:department_id, @departments, :id, :name, {:prompt => "select a department"}) <%end%>
This worked fine with locomotive and with the hosted enviroment I was working with that used mongrel.
I then moved it to a different hosted env using lighttpd and fastCGI. I froze my rails before deploying. When I deployed, I noticed the select statement wasn't being honored. However if I change it to the following:
<% form_for :product, :url => {:action => "preview_item", :id => @product}, :html => {:multipart => true} do |form| %> collection_select('product', 'department', @departments, :id, :name, {:prompt => "select a department"}) <%end%>
For some reason, getting rid of the form, adding product and changing department_id to department caused this to work.
Can anyone shed some light on this?
Thanks,
Scott
