Method: ActionView::Helpers::FormOptionsHelper#time_zone_options_for_select

Defined in:
lib/action_view/helpers/form_options_helper.rb

#time_zone_options_for_select(selected = nil, priority_zones = nil, model = ::ActiveSupport::TimeZone) ⇒ Object

Returns a string of option tags for pretty much any time zone in the world. Supply a ActiveSupport::TimeZone name as selected to have it marked as the selected option tag. You can also supply an array of ActiveSupport::TimeZone objects as priority_zones, so that they will be listed above the rest of the (long) list. (You can use ActiveSupport::TimeZone.us_zones as a convenience for obtaining a list of the US time zones, or a Regexp to select the zones of your choice)

The selected parameter must be either nil, or a string that names a ActiveSupport::TimeZone.

By default, model is the ActiveSupport::TimeZone constant (which can be obtained in Active Record as a value object). The only requirement is that the model parameter be an object that responds to all, and returns an array of objects that represent time zones.

NOTE: Only the option tags are returned, you have to wrap this call in a regular HTML select tag.
