Select_tag and multiple selection

Dear frineds, I have a code like this:

<%= select_tag “interviewuser_ids”, options_for_select(Role.get_hr_officers.collect{ |p| [p.full_name, p.id] }, niz),
options ={:multiple =>true, :style=> “height:100px;width:400px;”} %>

where niz is Array of id’s which should be selected.
I tried this in a difefrnet way also with @interviews.user.id insetad of niz, but nothing happens.

Anyone with suggestion?

There is a post on the Ruby forum http://www.ruby-forum.com/topic/107808
Basically, it says that the options that need to be selected need to be integers. Here is the excerpt from the post:
“Had to change:

select_tag :order_hours, options_for_select(filter_hours,
@selected_order_hours)
to
select_tag :order_hours, options_for_select(filter_hours,
@selected_order_hours.to_i)
“
