#html_options(container, selected = nil) ⇒ Object

Accepts a container (hash, array, enumerable, your type) and returns a string of option tags. Given a container where the elements respond to first and last (such as a two-element array), the “lasts” serve as option values and the “firsts” as option text. Hashes are turned into this form automatically, so the keys become “firsts” and values become lasts. If selected is specified, the matching “last” or element will get the selected option-tag.

Examples (call, result):

html_options([["Dollar", "$"], ["Kroner", "DKK"]])
  <option value="$">Dollar</option>\n<option value="DKK">Kroner</option>

html_options([ "VISA", "Mastercard" ], "Mastercard")
  <option>VISA</option>\n<option selected>Mastercard</option>

html_options({ "Basic" => "$20", "Plus" => "$40" }, "$40")
  <option value="$20">Basic</option>\n<option value="$40" selected>Plus</option>
