select doesn't show selected value

I have a form for both the new and edit action. one of the fields is a selectbox and when editing the select should show the value from the database. This is what I have now, but it shows "basic" as value, not "premium" (which is stored as database value):

<%= s_form.select(:name, 
                  options_for_select([['Basic', 'basic'], ['Premium', 'premium']]), 
                  :selected => params[:name]) %>

Any suggestions how to make this work?

You should pass the selected option to the option_for_select helper like:

<%= s_form.select(:name, options_for_select([['Basic', 'basic'], ['Premium', 'premium']], :selected => params[:name])) %>
