Even the simplest selects don't work for me in Rails 4 and version 3.0.3 of the gem: when loading the page the correct value is shown, but when clicking on the selection, a very tall selection box comes up with empty options. Looking into the generated HTML I can see that the quoted strings (e.g. if you have :collection => {1 => "Spain", ...) appear as "Spain". i.e. the quotes have been escaped.
I found that this comes from line 30 in lib/best_in_place/helper.rb where html_escape is applied to collection. If you remove html_escape and change this line into:
options[:data]['bip-collection'] = collection`
things work as they should. I'm not sure if that has other, undesired, effects, but this works for me. I suggest that the gem author takes a look.
