Hi Wes,

Please could you post the snippet of view code you are using? cheers

Here's an example:

<%= select_year(DateTime.now.year, :start_year => 1960, :end_year => DateTime.now.year, :prefix => "school", :field_name => "yearfrom", :include_blank => true) %>

If you read the source code for select_year carefully (api.rubyonrails.org), you'll see that any regular HTML options do not get passed to the "select_html" call, just option tag values and "select_html" - specific options (which are not HTML options).

I ended up using Prototype to set up the onchange handlers dynamically, which, as it turns out, is a better practice, and was actually better suited for what I was doing.

Thanks, Wes
