Can't add select in options form about mercury

[jejacks0n]

Hi Dom, while I'm willing to provide support for Mercury Editor, I'm unable to provide support for everything else that's rails based. I understand that it can be difficult to determine where an error is coming from (server vs. javascript), but this one's rails.. You can assume this any time you see a HTTP 500 response.. You can also determine this from the "500 Internal Server Error" that you see at the top of that response.

It looks like you're building a form using a hash.. formtastic typically expects a model / openstruct that responds to specific methods. Try the baby steps the other way first -- making the models and such.. not using mercury.. then integrating it into mercury might be easier.

The code I provided above is only a slight alteration from your own example snippet in the gem:

mercury/app/views/mercury/snippets/example_options.html.erb

The only difference is the select input field. From what I can see this is valid Formtastic syntax. I may be using a hash but I've taken that from your own example, and since that works, I don't see why this doesn't.

I will take your advice and build a database-backed AR model and see if I get it to work that way.

Thanks for your time.
