Hi, I have a few simple rails questions: Does the check_box_tag map to an int or to a boolean field within the database? Thanks in advance, -Conrad -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed... URL: http://wrath.rubyonrails.org/pipermail/rails/attachments/20060425/4956dc68/attachment.html
check_box will use a 1 or 0 for checked/unchecked. The db field can be
a char, int or boolean (if the db supports it).
In a view displaying products for example:
<%= check_box(''product'', ''available'')
%>
where ''available'' is a field in the
''products'' table.
Hope this helps,
Steve

Hi, what''s difference between using check_box and check_box_tag? Just curious as to what one should use in development. Well, I must go and thanks for the information. -Conrad On 4/25/06, Stephen Bartholomew <sb@2404.co.uk> wrote:> > check_box will use a 1 or 0 for checked/unchecked.

check_box is used to map to a model attribute (like ''available'' in the ''product'' model) check_box_tag creates a checkbox from the options you give.
