module ActionView
  module Helpers
    # Provides a number of methods for turning different kinds of containers into a set of option tags.
    # == Options
    # The <tt>collection_select</tt>, <tt>select</tt> and <tt>time_zone_select</tt> methods take an <tt>options</tt> parameter, a hash:
    #
    # * <tt>:include_blank</tt> - set to true or a prompt string if the first option element of the select element is a blank. Useful if there is not a default value required for the select element.
    #
    # For example,
    #
    #   select("post", "category", Post::CATEGORIES, {:include_blank => true})
    #
    # could become:
    #
    #   <select name="post[category]">
    #     <option></option>
    #     <option>joke</option>
    #     <option>poem</option>
    #   </select>
    #
    # Another common case is a select tag for an <tt>belongs_to</tt>-associated object.
    #
    # Example with @post.person_id => 2:
    #
    #   select("post", "person_id", Person.all.collect {|p| [ p.name, p.id ] }, {:include_blank => 'None'})
    #
    # could become:
    #
    #   <select name="post[person_id]">
    #     <option value="">None</option>
    #     <option value="1">David</option>
    #     <option value="2" selected="selected">Sam</option>
    #     <option value="3">Tobias</option>
    #   </select>
    #
    # * <tt>:prompt</tt> - set to true or a prompt string. When the select element doesn't have a value yet, this prepends an option with a generic prompt -- "Please select" -- or the given prompt string.
    #
    # Example:
    #
    #   select("post", "person_id", Person.all.collect {|p| [ p.name, p.id ] }, {:prompt => 'Select Person'})
    #
    # could become:
    #
    #   <select name="post[person_id]">
    #     <option value="">Select Person</option>
    #     <option value="1">David</option>
    #     <option value="2">Sam</option>
    #     <option value="3">Tobias</option>
    #   </select>
    # 
    # Like the other form helpers, +select+ can accept an <tt>:index</tt> option to manually set the ID used in the resulting output. Unlike other helpers, +select+ expects this 
    # option to be in the +html_options+ parameter.
    # 
    # Example: 
    # 
    #   select("album[]", "genre", %w[rap rock country], {}, { :index => nil })
    # 
    # becomes:
    # 
    #   <select name="album[][genre]" id="album__genre">
    #     <option value="rap">rap</option>
    #     <option value="rock">rock</option>
    #     <option value="country">country</option>
    #   </select>
    #
    # * <tt>:disabled</tt> - can be a single value or an array of values that will be disabled options in the final output.
    #
    # Example:
    #
    #   select("post", "category", Post::CATEGORIES, {:disabled => 'restricted'})
    #
    # could become:
    #
    #   <select name="post[category]">
    #     <option></option>
    #     <option>joke</option>
    #     <option>poem</option>
    #     <option disabled="disabled">restricted</option>
    #   </select>
    #
    # When used with the <tt>collection_select</tt> helper, <tt>:disabled</tt> can also be a Proc that identifies those options that should be disabled.
    #
    # Example:
    #
    #   collection_select(:post, :category_id, Category.all, :id, :name, {:disabled => lambda{|category| category.archived? }})
    #
    # If the categories "2008 stuff" and "Christmas" return true when the method <tt>archived?</tt> is called, this would return:
    #   <select name="post[category_id]">
    #     <option value="1" disabled="disabled">2008 stuff</option>
    #     <option value="2" disabled="disabled">Christmas</option>
    #     <option value="3">Jokes</option>
    #     <option value="4">Poems</option>
    #   </select>

      # See options_for_select for the required format of the choices parameter.
      #
      # Example with @post.person_id => 1:
      #   select("post", "person_id", Person.all.collect {|p| [ p.name, p.id ] }, { :include_blank => true })
      #
      # could become:
      #
      #   <select name="post[person_id]">
      #     <option value=""></option>
      #     <option value="1" selected="selected">David</option>
      #     <option value="2">Sam</option>
      #     <option value="3">Tobias</option>
      #   </select>
      #
      # This can be used to provide a default set of options in the standard way: before rendering the create form, a
      # new model instance is assigned the default options and bound to @model_name. Usually this model is not saved
      # to the database. Instead, a second model object is created when the create request is received.
      # This allows the user to submit a form page more than once with the expected results of creating multiple records.
      # In addition, this allows a single partial to be used to generate form inputs for both edit and create forms.
      #
      # By default, <tt>post.person_id</tt> is the selected option.  Specify <tt>:selected => value</tt> to use a different selection
      # or <tt>:selected => nil</tt> to leave all options unselected. Similarly, you can specify values to be disabled in the option
      # tags by specifying the <tt>:disabled</tt> option. This can either be a single value or an array of values to be disabled.

      # or <tt>:include_blank</tt> in the +options+ hash.
      #
      # The <tt>:value_method</tt> and <tt>:text_method</tt> parameters are methods to be called on each member

      # * +option_key_method+ - The name of a method which, when called on a child object of a member of

      # * +option_value_method+ - The name of a method which, when called on a child object of a member of
