Rails - Aug 2007 - What would be the best way to...

I have a model ''assignment'' that has_many of the model
''answer''.  What
would be the best way to have a form to save an ''assignment''
and some
of its ''answers'' all on the same form?

given both models have three attributes, title, content & brief;
i believe would this work (untested code)

text_field ''assignment'', ''title''
text_field ''assignment'', ''content''
text_field ''assignment'', ''brief''
text_field ''assignment'', ''answer[title]''
text_field ''assignment'', ''answer[content]''
text_field ''assignment'', ''answer[brief]''

Hmm... that didn''t work.  Also, I need to have more than 1 answer on
the form.    Maybe something like text fields with
id="assignment[answer][1][content]"?

You can give an arbitrary index to text fields, like this:

   <% @assignment.answers.each_with_index do |answer,i| %>
     <%= text_field "answer", "title", :index => i
%>
     ...
   <% end %>

You''ll then get params[:answer], which will be a hash with keys
corresponding to the indices.

Maybe that, or something based on it, would give you what you need.
