Ok, Excuse the basic questions I am a recovering Java/WebObjects developer. ;) Currently to learn Rail I am porting a WebObjects application over to it and am having great success. But have encountered a few areas of difficulty that I am hoping I can tackle with a little help. Coming from the world WO I am accustomed to attaching "actions" to submit buttons. This provided some flexibility in some ways and obviously handicapped my thinking in other ways. For example, Form -> list of actions -> submit "act" and list of filters -> submit "filter" In rails how would one go about this? How would one differentiate which button was pressed? They must be in a single form which wraps a table and leads to my next question. Also I have some paginated lists that contain checkboxes on each row to allow acting on sets of records. As I moved from page to page in the previous environment we just added the checked records to an array and then acted upon all of them. This was handled in a "automagical" manner that shielded the developer from the heavy lifting. Are there any methods in Rails that helps manage this type of UI? Sorry if these are rudimentary questions. I am trying to break old mind set and embrace the rails way so any help is greatly appreciated. -- Thanks. Lon Baker AIM: spdemac
