Rails - Sep 2006 - Select multiple models with multiple checkboxes. Rails Way?

I want to display my houses with a checkbox next to each of them, how do 
i do it?
I know i could do check_box("house[]","enabled") if my
houses could be
enabled.  But what do you do if you just want a list of the ids of the 
selected houses?

Any ideas? I''m sooo sure this is stupidly easy. I feel stupid.

I''ve had to do this and it doesnt seem right, although it works:

[view]

<% for @house in @houses %>
<%=check_box "house[]","nil?" %>
<% end

[controller]

 #this method will return a list of selected house ids:
 def get_selected_houses
    ids=[]
    params[param].each_pair do |key,value|
      if value["nil?"]=="1"
        ids << key
      end
    end
    false
  end


Any ideas what the rails way of doing this is?

Thanks
Chris

Look into the MultipleSelect plugin:
