At the moment I have the following code: <% form_for :query, :url => {:action => ''plot''} do |form| %> <p> <label for "query_product_name"> Product: </label> <%= form.select :product_name, @products, :prompt => "Select Product" %> </p> <%=submit_tag "Display Results", :class => "submit"%> <%end%> This enables me to select a single product from a drop down menu of products. It then saves this product in query object. I want to be able to select multiple products and for them to be held as an array in query. Is this possible??

o.k. so I added '':multiple=>true'' in the following way: <% form_for :query, :url => {:action => ''plot''} do |form| %> <p> <label for "query_product_name"> Product: </label> <%= form.select :product_name, @products, :prompt => "Select Product", :multiple => true %> </p> <%=submit_tag "Display Results", :class => "submit"%> <%end%> but it is still just a combo box that only lets me select one item. Any other ideas?

I haven''t got it to work quite yet. When I select multiple products, I was hoping they would be sent as an array to the query object. But: When I select multiple products, only 1 product (the first one) gets sent. Do you know how to send them as an array?

Nothing seems to work - could you be more specific?

Chris, here is something I have: FORM: <p> <label for="categories">Categories</label><br /> <select id="categories" name="categories[]" multiple="multiple" size="10" style="width: 250px;"> <%= options_from_collection_for_select(@all_categories, :id, :long_name, @selected) %> </select> </p> CONTROLLER: def create @photo = Photo.new(params[:photo]) @photo.categories = Category.find(params[:categories]) if params[:categories] if @photo.save flash[:notice] = ''Photo was successfully created.'' redirect_to :action => ''list'' else @all_categories = Category.find(:all, :order => ''name'') render :action => ''new'' end end Hope that helps some. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.

I''m sorry but I''m still puzzled! I just can''t get the form when submitted to be able to hold multiple products. <% form_for :query, :url => {:action => ''plot''} do |form| %> <p> <label for "query_product_name"> Product: </label> <%= form.select :product_name, @products, {:prompt => "Select Product"}, {:multiple => true} %> </p> What am I doing wrong? -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.
