select in a partial

Hi all,

I use a drop down list (select) in a partial.

<%= select('treeview', 'kind', %w{ Club Ploeg Tak }) %>

The partial is called treeview and it has a variable kind. If treeview.kind matches or Club or ploeg or Tak then one of them should be selected.

Since select expects a instance variable this doesnt't seem to work. I already tried @temptree = treeview and then

<%= select('temptree', 'kind', %w{ Club Ploeg Tak }) %> but Club is always the selected value.

Since I'm really stuck here all help is greatly appreciated.

Thanks Stijn
