select with :multiple => true

Hello,

Currently when using the select_tag method with the :multiple => true option the name parameter is set as is.

select_tag "access", nil, :multiple => true   # => <select id="access" multiple="multiple" name="access"></select>

Although for the mulitple values to be sent the name should instead be "access".

So you can do that with the following...

select_tag "access", nil, :name => "access", :multiple => true   # => <select id="access" multiple="multiple" name="access"></select>

Should this be set automatically where the method checks for the :multiple option as true and sets the name to "access"?

So with :multiple => true...

select_tag "access", nil, :multiple => true   # => <select id="access" multiple="multiple" name="access"></select>

and without :multiple => true...

select_tag "access", nil   # => <select id="access" multiple="multiple" name="access"></select>

Thanks

This sounds like a nice enhancement, you should have a go at it and send in a patch. There are instructions here:

Good luck :slight_smile:
