struggling with collect

rubyonrails-talk
#1

I use a lot of this but I am struggling to get it to show the 'selected
value.

<%= options = [['Select Facility', "" ] ] + @facilities.sort
   { |a,b| a.name <=> b.name }.collect {
        >fac> [fac.name, fac.id] }
        select 'counseling_note', 'fi_facility_id', options %>

This is fine but I want it to show the currently selected value.

How would I modify the above to show the current value (Either fac.name
or fac.id)?

@counseling_note.fi_facility_id = 9
@counseling_note.fi_facility = "Some Facility Name"
or I can set @fi_facility
or I can set @fi_facility_id

but I can't get it to show the selected value.
