Hello,
I''m trying to create a form that will allow a user to submit a list of
phone numbers, but the list is dynamically created. Thus allowing my form
to submit an unknown number of phone numbers.
Here is some of the code I have been trying:
<%= collection_select( "phone[]", "phone_type_id",
PhoneType.find(:all, :order => "position"), :id,
:description )
%>
( <%= text_field "phone[]", "area_code", :class
=> "phones" %> )
<%= text_field "phone[]", "prefix", :class =>
"phones" %>
-
<%= text_field "phone[]", "suffix", :class =>
"phones" %>
ext. <%= text_field "phone[]", "extension", :class
=> "phones" %>
<%= link_to_remote("add",
:update => "phones-list",
:url => { :action => "add_phone" },
:loading => "",
:complete => ""
)
%>
The link_to_remote would use AJAX to insert the fields to add a new phone
number, but the issue is that I don''t know how to incorporate an id or
count field into the fields so controller can tell the diffrence between
the fields in the params[]. I tried using the phones[] with
''[]'' based
upon the agile book, first edition, pg 356 and the rails docs at
http://api.rubyonrails.com/classes/ActionView/Helpers/FormHelper.html
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks.

I actually found a solution but it is kind of ugly and was wondering if there existed an easier/prettier/cleaner solution to this problem. My solution was to use a sessions (cookies) that would store a counter and be incremented every time theres a call to the function that adda a new line to the form. This would allow for a unique ID for each entry An other solution would be the same thing in JavaScript, that is to implement a counter and to make my own JavaScript function that will do the same as link_to_remote but will insert the index from the counter.

Then as they added a number if would get entered into the list, your method would go out and get the numbers (including the one you just added) and then render a partial inside of a div.

Not sure if this helps, > > -SYes that is correct I already have a table relating in my case recipes to ingredients. The problem is I want to save the ingredients (or in the case of the example above the phone numbers) only when the whole form is submitted, hence the need to index each line of the form. The problem here is to find an easy way to index each ilne of the form.
