Hi,
I have a list of companies for a given user. One (and only one) company
can be a default company for that user. I have a radio button that
appears on each row in the list of companies (here is my code):
<% form_tag :action => ''update_default_company'', :id
=> @company,
:method => :post do %>
<table>
<tr>
<th><%= "Name" %></th>
<th><%= "Size" %></th>
<th><%= "Default Company" %></th>
</tr>
<% for @company in @companies %>
<tr>
<td><%= @company.name %></td>
<td><%= @company.size %></td>
<td><%= radio_button("company",
"default_company", true) %>
</tr>
<% end %>
</table>
<%= submit_tag "Change Default" %>
<% end %>
From this list, the user is allowed to change the default company and
click on a button (implemented with a submit tag, which calls a method
in the controller). The radio buttons are the only editable field on
this form.
Question: How do I get the necessary values back to the controller?
Currently, I only get the selected radio button, but not the associated
company data.
TIA,
TMac

I thought the third parm was used for determining which radio button should be selected, when loading the companies from the database. In my case, only one company has default set to true, so I put true in the third parm. It works nicely for displaying the data. So now the question becomes how do I set that radio button values to correspond to the database values? Thanks for your help.
