Rails: Create a select box that shows images, passes path

So, I have a rails controller that has a @images set, which has the paths for the images I want to select from, ready to use in image_tag. The table for this object has a field for image_path. In the new view for this object, I want to have a select box that displays each image from @images and passes the text of that into the form, where it will be saved to the object's database.

Right now, I have code that makes a select box showing the filename:

= f.select :image_path, @images

and code that can show all of the images

[email protected] do |image|
  = image_tag image

What I want is for the select box to show the images and pass the paths as it already does.

This is not possible with the default rails select tags, though there is a jquery plugin called jquery image dropdown See this SO POST for more information.
