Rails - Feb 2006 - Add more ''answers'' at once

I''m working on a questionnaire which is a "one to
many"-realtion between
a question and some answers.

I can extract the data form the database whitout problems, but I''m 
having problems creating a new question - or actually, creating new 
answers to a question.

What I would like to have is: A form where you can write a question, and 
then 8 (or whatever) text_fields where you can write some answers.
Adding one answer at the time wouldn''t be a problem (just like adding a
comment in the screencast on rubyonrails.com), but how do I add more 
than one at the time?
What should the names of the text fileds be? How do i add them to the 
database?

thanks in advance

Mike

Page 356 of the Agile Web Development with Rails book might help you. 
Chapter 17.  It explains that if you put:

text_field("answers[]", ...)

That you can build arrays of data.  At least that may be a start for 
you.
