How does one use a <select> for a habtm field? I''m having trouble getting it to work. Here''s my html: <div> <p><label for="projects">Project</label><br/> <select id="schedule_projects" name="schedule[project_ids][]" multiple="multiple" size="10"> <%options_from_collection_for_select(@all_projects, :id, :name, @selected_projects) %> </select> </p> </div> And my controller: def edit @schedule = Schedule.find(params[:id]) @all_projects = Project.find(:all, :order=>"name") @selected_projects = @schedule.projects.collect{|prj| prj.project_id.to_i} end def update @schedule = Schedule.find(params[:id]) if @schedule.update_attributes(params[:schedule]) flash[:notice] = ''Schedule was successfully updated.'' redirect_to :action => ''show'', :id => @schedule else render :action => ''edit'' end end I keep getting an error: ActiveRecord::StatementInvalid in ScheduleController#update Mysql::Error: Duplicate entry ''3'' for key 1: INSERT INTO projects_schedules (`project_id`, `id`, `schedule_id`) VALUES (3, 3, 1) It''s because the id 3 is already used in the projects_schedules table. Why is it choosing a duplicate key? T. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.
