Question

I have a very small silly doubt .

i have a line
<%= select_tag “kind”, options_from_collection_for_select(@blogs, :id, :name) %>

this shows the blog name in small case , how to capitalize it here ..

I am using rails 2.3.11

Answer 1

I recommend creating a virtual attribute, say display_name that looks something like:

def display_name
  name.capitalize
end

And your select tag will now look like:

<%= select_tag "kind", options_from_collection_for_select(@blogs, :id, :display_name) %>

Hope that helps.
