Rails - Nov 2006 - Re: Ajax In place editor with drop downs (need help please)

Forget what I said before.  :)

I''m trying to use the Ajax In-Place Editor with drop downs.
In Scriptaculous 1.5.3 an Ajax In Place Collection Editor was added.

This is about it as far as integration with Rails :
http://fora.pragprog.com/rails-recipes/write-your-own/post/223

Here is something I don''t understand -

"For example, in a *list.rhtml* file, the following defines an editor for a
field called *custom_field* that has a number of options taken from the *
FieldType* model:"

<%= in_place_collection_editor_field ''custom_field'',
''field_type'',
                           FieldType.find_all.collect{|x| [x.name,x.id]} %>

Okay, I  get this but why isn''t the model for the custom_field included
?
Normally in a collection_select it would be :(model :method ....)

So that is kind of weird.  And what is really throwing me is the controller
code:

def set_custom_field_field_type
@i = CustomField.find(params[:id]) # if this is the field that the params
will be written to why am i doing a find?
f = FieldType.find(params[:value])

.................
end
