Hi,
Is it possible to do something like this multiple levels deep as shown
in the subject?
<% for @order in @orders %>
...
<%= text_field("order[]", ''name'') %>
...
<% for @item in @order.items %>
...
<%= text_field("order[item[]]", ''name'') %>
Seems like something along these lines should work. I''ve tried a
couple different ways, but I can''t guess my way through this. The
documentation doesn''t mention anything, so I''m guessing
it''s not
implemented? I''m looking at the source now, so maybe that will help.
Any thoughts?
Thanks,
Ben

Not too sure what you mean here... Do you mean to pass in exactly the name and id that I want? I figured I could that if I wanted to. I was looking for something that works seamlessly and that loads back in via an incoming request. Seems like it would just take extending what''s already there for the one level. Unless I''m missing what you''re saying and there''s some magic to text_field_tag that I''m missing? -Ben On 11/23/05, Rick Olson <technoweenie-Re5JQEeQqe8AvxtiuMwx3w@public.gmane.org> wrote:> On 11/23/05, Ben Anderson <benanderson.us-Re5JQEeQqe8AvxtiuMwx3w@public.gmane.org> wrote: > > Hi, > > Is it possible to do something like this multiple levels deep as shown > > in the subject? > > > > <% for @order in @orders %> > > ... > > <%= text_field("order[]", ''name'') %> > > ... > > <% for @item in @order.items %> > > ... > > <%= text_field("order[item[]]", ''name'') %> > > > > Seems like something along these lines should work.

I went to check the docs :) http://rails.rubyonrails.com/classes/ActionView/Helpers/FormHelper.html Apparently you can do <%= text_field ''order'', ''name'', :index => 1 %> which will give you an id like order[1][name]. Do your looping like this: <% @orders.each_with_index do |order, order_index| -%> Beyond that I''m not quite sure. Never had to do this actually. -- rick http://techno-weenie.net
