Hello, I am having difficulty with extracting data from the collection_select form helper. First, the code: 1. view ->> <%= collection_select :colors, :id, send_colors, :id, :color %> 2. view helper that polulates collection_select ''send_colors'' -->> def send_colors @colors = Color.find(:all) end 3. controller ->> def create @color = Color.new(params[:color]) end My problem is that when I submit the form, @color (in the controller) is not being populated with any data. I have inspected the @color object and it''s attributes are empty. When I view the HTML source in the web browser, the select form value options are there but seemingly not submitted back to controller. Perhaps my controller code is wrong. Also, here''s some debug YAML output <%= debug(params) %> --- !map:HashWithIndifferentAccess commit: Save changes action: create_debug controller: admin color: !map:HashWithIndifferentAccess id: "1" <%= debug(@color) %> --- !ruby/object:Color attributes: color: new_record: true <%= debug(request) %> partial output #<ActionController::CgiRequest:0x3604d40 @parameters={"commit"=>"Save changes", "action"=>"create_debug", "controller"=>"admin", "color"=>{"id"=>"1"}}, What is this ''HasWithIndifferentAccess'' about? Is this my problem? Thanks for any assistance in advance! -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.
