in Rails we can add custom attributes to select options, using the existing options_for_select helper.

If you need grouped options, you can use the grouped_options_for_select helper, like this (if @continents is an array of continent objects, each having a countries method):

<%= f.select :country_id, grouped_options_for_select(@continents.map{ |group| [group.name, group.countries.map{ |c| [c.name, c.id, {'data-currency_pre'=>c.currency_pre}] } ] }, selected_key = f.object.country_id) %>

Looking for comments?

I don't have comments on this site as they're difficult to manage and take up too much time. I'd rather concentrate on producing content than managing comments.
