Default value for country_select

[Ratnavel Sundaramurthi]

Using Country_select how to have default valur set to United States.

I have a select drop down in my Ui to display the Country names.

But i need United tates to be selected as default value.

I use country_select to populate the country names.

This is how i use <%= f.country_select :country, :selected=>'United
States' %>
i also tried
<%= f.country_select :country, :priority_countries=>'United States' %>

Do help me out to fix this..

Thanks in advance
Ratnavel.

Thanks for the reply ebrad

I Used as this

<%= form.country_select :billing_country, ["United States"] %>, its
working..

BUT,

This is adding a option extra in the top as United states, the same
happened to me when i used the other two options which i mentioned
earlier..

Is it possible to show the United States in the list selected as
default.

what brad suggested is the way to do it. This will select United States as the first country.

Hi,

If you want to use the 'selected' option instead of putting it as a
priority country, you could try this

<%= form.country_select :billing_country, [], {:selected => "United
States"} %>

I know this is a few years olf but just in case it helps anyone, you can
use :prompt => true to add a 'please select' default option

I don't know for sure, but I think you can pass in an option:
`:selected => code` where code is the country code.

Show your code.

This is on the README page:

Supplying additional html options:

country_select("user", "country", { priority_countries: ["GB",
"FR"] }, { selected: "GB", class: 'form-control' })
