Rails - Nov 2005 - Problems with observe_form and parameters

Hi!

I''m having some problems with observe_form and several multiple
selects.
My form contains 5 multiple selects and I would like to send the 
selected values from each of them to my controller.
Usually you would create a string of the values in the :with parameter, 
but it would be quite ugly to make a oneliner looping through select 
boxes to find selected indexes.

How does people usually solve this?
I tried making a function that returns a string of parameters, but I 
just got bogus calling it from :with.

Greetings,
Gitte Wange

I think you want Form.serialize

-r

Thanks !
It really helped and everything is working totally cool!
Maybe the info needs to be worked into the rdoc documentation.
