Hello all,
I have a model with two entities (document and asset) and a 1:1
relationship defined between them (every model has an asset).
I want to generate a rthml view that generates a hash for document
attributes and a nested hash for asset attributes (for example
{:document =>{:name=>XXX :asset => {date =>XXX}})
According to the Pragmatic Programmers book (page 355), the input fields
for this should be something like
<input type="text" name="document[name]" />
<input type="text" name="document[asset][name]" />
The question is: how can i generate the second field with the rails
helpers. I have tried:
<%=text_field "document" "asset[name]" %>
<%=text_field "document" "asset.name" %>
Is it possible to generate this kind of nested fields with helpers or
should I generated by hand?
Thanks in advance,
Rubén

Manual HTML 2. The text_field_tag helper, overriding the id tag if necessary 3.
