Rails - Dec 2005 - Deleting many items

Is there a quick and easy way to delete multiple items? I''d like to
have this in my list view:

<% for item in @items %>
...code with delete checkbox...
<% end %>

Then if a delete submit button at the end of the items list is clicked, any item
with its delete
checkbox would get deleted.

thanks
csn

CSN,

You can do something like this:

View:
<%= check_box_tag "checked[#{item.id.to_s}]" %>

Controller:
Item.destroy(params[:checked].keys) unless params[:checked].nil?

You could use Item.delete if you don''t want to instantiate the objects
first.
