I got for now this code html

<select name="visible">
     <option value="1" selected="selected">Yes</option>
     <option value="0">No</option>
  </select> display

I need to transfer this code to ruby
some like =>

<%= select("property", "location_id",Location.find(:all, :conditions => "name != '' ").collect {|p| [p.name, p.id]}, { :include_blank => false }) %>

function above look for from database some data and put it into the drop box fields
I need display only YES and NO and set them values 0 and 1

any ideas ?

Have you looked at erb (http://ruby-doc.org/stdlib/libdoc/erb/rdoc/index.html\) or the CGI standard library (http://ruby-doc.org/stdlib/libdoc/cgi/rdoc/index.html\)?

Or do you mean parsing the HTML and making into that code?

Why not use a check box? I always hated drop downs for binary state
variables.

Go to http://api.rubyonrails.com/ and click on the Method named
"collection_select". It does just what you want.
