Question

I’m trying to create a drop-down box with a few values.
I don’t want it to be part of a form_for, since I’ll just be passing the values through to the next page as params.

It seems like there should be a simple way to do this, but I’m not seeing it.

Or do I basically have to use a form_for?

Look at the select_tag helper, section 3 of this guide, and at options_for_select and options_from_collection_for_select, used in conjuction with it.
