Guys: Stuck at the mall today, and just had to crack Rails Cookbook, by O''Reily. It had a recipe for accepting dynamically created forms. The sample output looked like this (reconstructed): p params[:my_form] > ["1-1" => 0, "1-2" => 0, "1-3" => 0, "2-1" => 0, "2-2" => 0, "2-3" => 0, "3-1" => 0, "3-2" => 0, "3-3" => 0] --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.

Guys: Stuck at the mall today, and just had to crack Rails Cookbook, by O''Reilly. It had a recipe for accepting dynamically created forms. The recipe resolved to build a grid on a page, and submit it with enumerable form post names. The sample output looked like this (reconstructed): p params[:my_form] > ["1-1" => 0, "1-2" => 0, "1-3" => 0, "2-1" => 0, "2-2" => 0, "2-3" => 0, "3-1" => 0, "3-2" => 0, "3-3" => 0] Does anyone have the book to hand? The technical problem here is... A> naming a form field different from its ID is bad luck B> an HTML ID should not start with a numeral (right?) Can someone check if the book permits this bug in the IDs? Ruby form helpers make it kind''a easy... -- Phlip --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.

There''s nothing wrong with naming a form field something other than it''s ID, or not giving it an ID at all.> B> an HTML ID should not start with a numeral (right?)I''d have to check the HTML/XML spec, but that sounds right. Anyway, the simplest solution is to use the name prefixed with something (e.g. dynamic_) as the ID. Mind you, I suspect most browsers will happily deal with whatever string you put in the ID field, numeric or not.> Can someone check if the book permits this bug in the IDs?
