Is it possible to pass predefined arguments along with a form with form_for? i.e. an id etc? I have a task model with usual title, completed(bool), duedate and a foreign key field called project_id (a project has many tasks). On one view i want to have an "express add task" form i.e. there is only one field to fill in for the title. The rest of the attributes I want to set to some default values. The problem is this form will be sent to a dffierent controller. As the user only submits a title ill also need the project_id which is known is available in the view...is there anyway i can pass this along with the form? -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.

thanks very much for that. I went away and researched teh api more about hidden fields. I did try them out a while back but got an error and thought i was heading down the wrong path but you confirmed i was indeed looking in the right area. thank you once again -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.
