Hi, I''d like to have a list of things with checkboxes in front of each. When (un)checking the checkbox, a method should be invoked and I''d like to be able to see a) which checkbox has been changed (best would be a numeric id) and b) if the checkbox is now on or off. This is my attempt <%= start_form_tag({:action => "save"}, :id=>"checkform" ) %> <%= check_box "checker", "yesno", :id => "boxx" %> <%= submit_tag "save" %> <%= end_form_tag %> <%= observe_form "checkform", :frequency => 1, :url => { :action => "save" }, :with => "sometext=value" %> When I uncheck the checkbox, the action ''save'' is invoked and the parameters look like this: {"commit"=>"save", "checker"=>{"yesno"=>"0"}, "action"=>"save", "controller"=>"check"} (and "yesno" => "1" when checked). Question: how do I get the id into the parameter list? Would this be the only way:? <%= check_box "checker[]", "yesno", :id => "boxx" %> without the strange line ":with => ''sometext=value''", I won''t get any useful results, why? (Parameters: {"action"=>"save", "controller"=>"check"}) How should I use the observe_form correctly?
