Even cleaner in Rails: <%= select 'user', 'sites', Site::find_all.collect( &:name ) %> http://technomixx.com

Another variation: <%= collection_select :user, :sites, Site.find(:all), :id, :name %> This will generate a key-value pair of site.name and site.id in the select tag.

Even cleaner in Rails: <%= select 'user', 'sites', Site::find_all.collect( &:name ) %> (The important part being the &:name, the others are just oddities of my style.)
Controlling complexity is the essence of computer programming.
