There is what I''m doing: I want to display a series of text_area
fields (read only) of which each has a checkbox.
Is this the best way to do it?
<% form_for (@section), :url =>{:action => "save_comments"}
do |f| %>
<% f.fields_for :comments do |a|%>
<li>
<%= a.text_area :text, :read_only => ''true''
%> <br>
<%= a.check_box :approval_boolean %> <br>
<hr>
</li>
<% end %>
<% end %>
Is there any other way to display the field "text" other than above?
Thanks!

If it is going to be read-only, why do you need to display it in a text_area instead of directly on the page? andrew wrote:> There is what I''m doing: I want to display a series of text_area > fields (read only) of which each has a checkbox. > > Is this the best way to do it? > > <% form_for (@section), :url =>{:action => "save_comments"} do |f| %> > <% f.fields_for :comments do |a|%> > <li> > <%= a.text_area :text, :read_only => ''true'' %> <br> > <%= a.check_box :approval_boolean %> <br> > <hr> > </li> > <% end %> > <% end %> > > Is there any other way to display the field "text" other than above? > > Thanks!-- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.

Ok, I''ll clean up the variable names.

Have you debugged it to see what''s going on in that block? Do you *know* what methods it''s got, or are you assuming there''s a "text" method? You can use <% puts .... %> or <% logger.info .... %> to output messages to help you diagnose what''s going on. Personally, I prefer to use breakpoint debugging in Netbeans. does ''puts a.respond_to("text")'' display true? what does ''puts a.inspect'' give you? -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.

This is a nested model form using to models: section and comment, where section has many comments. "text" is a field for comments "approval_boolean" is a field for comments I just want the field value for "text" to show up as a non-form- element and "approval_boolean" to show as a check box form element. The code above works, but I can only get the "text" field to show up as a text_area or text_field form element. Like I said, if <%= a.text %> worked, I''d be happy... but it gives me a method error and I''m not sure why. Ahhhh! a.class = formbuilder. I thought it was a Comments class. Now I know what to look up.... I guess my question after all is there any way to "extract" a data value from a field within a formbuilder? (if I got my terminology right) Thanks for taking the time to look at this, btw. -a On Mar 23, 11:45 am, Michael Pavling <pavl...-Re5JQEeQqe8AvxtiuMwx3w@public.gmane.org> wrote:> On 23 March 2010 16:35, andrew <andrew.ggro...-Re5JQEeQqe8AvxtiuMwx3w@public.gmane.org> wrote: > > > Ok, I''ll clean up the variable names.
