I''m trying to populate data from a database and assign the data to form.label. The data in the database is in all caps but when it is displayed in my browser it is first character upper and the rest lower. How can I keep the text in uppercase? --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.

I hope this is not an obvious question. I have never actually used label.

That was it! I''m currently learning Rails so most of my work is from a book right now. I have another question...I''m having a hard time learning how to work with checkboxes and I would like to be able to verify if a check box is checked after submitting a form and then to search the database using the index "id" of the checked box. Could you give me some direction using ''pseudo code'' on how I can do this in Rails?

Here''s what I have so far:
def enter_subjects
for selected_subject in params[:tutor_subjects]
if selected_subject == 1
@tutor_subject = TutorSubjects.new()
@tutor_subject.tutor_id = Tutors.find(:id, :conditions =>
"email = #session[:email]")
@tutor_subject.subject = Subjects.find(:name, :conditions =>
"id = #selected_subject")
if @tutor_subject.sav
redirect_to :action => "tutor_city"
else
flash[:notice] = ''Tutor was not created
successfully.''
redirect_to :action => "tutor_city"
end
end
end
end

This is because HTML forms do not send checkboxes that are not checked. This may not be the case for FormBuilder, though. So it might depend on whether you are using form_for or just form_tag (or the remote counter parts).
