I am using a select_tag:

 <%= select_tag :s_user_type, options_for_select(User.all.map(&:user_type).uniq.compact.collect{|e| [e]}, user_type), {  :multiple => false, prompt: 'I am looking for a ...', class: "input-lg dropdown-home form-control" } %>

which renders into the dropdown below. I am trying to figure out, how to change the default icon of the drop_down (up and down arrow shown in the circle below) with an icon of fontawesome (e.g. this ). Is this possible? If so, any clue how can i do this in Rails?

Try replacing the class with `class="fa fa-chevron-down"`. – Pavan May 30 '14 at 19:25

How are getting your `current drop-down`? Through setting `class: "input-lg dropdown-home form-control"` right? – Pavan May 30 '14 at 19:30
Sorry, I am not sure what you mean. I am getting it with the select_tag. The class is just used for some CSS styles I applied. – Stefanos.Ioannou May 30 '14 at 19:34
