Hello,

Is dere any way to give default value or value to select tags .. My scenario is:-

<% value_array = [1, 2, 3, 4, 5] %> <select name="abc[def]"> <%= options_for_select (value_array) %> </select>

Read the docs for options_for_select

And you didn't notice that the second parameter to options_for_select is the value to be selected ? (you do need to ensure that the type of the selected value is the same as the type of the select options - a common mistake is for one to be an integer and the other a string)
