Ruby on Rails drop down help

Hi, I have a really simple problem with ruby on rails. Using a basic tutorial and scaffolding I have a form with lines like this:

<p><label for="user_game1">Game 1: <%= Game.find('1').game %></

<br/>

<%= text_field 'user', 'game_1' %></p>

and I want to change it from a text field to a drop down menu with three hardcoded values ("Home", "Away" and "Draw").

If someone could help me out that'd be great. Thanks, Craig

select 'user', 'game_1', %w(Home Away Draw) should do the trick.

<%= select 'user', 'game_1', %w(Home Away Draw), :include_blank => true %>

You may or may not want include_blank
