collection_select is build around an object, that's why in the example they
use f.collection_select, but you are using helpers with tag sufix, you don't
need an object in order to use those kind of helpers, so.. maybe you should
use select_tag:
*select_tag*(name, option_tags = nil, options = {})
you pass it a option_tags collection, you can get it from:
*options_for_select*(container, selected = nil)
you pass it an array of options or a hash, and if you want an option to be
selected as default... then you pass it also
your example should look something like:
*select_tag('name', options_for_select(*Post.all(:order => "name
ASC").collect {|p| [p.name, p.id]} *))*
