Hi,
I am trying to make the search_field look into a table of my database
which is different from the form''s object''s table.
Basically, I want to do this:
<td><%= f.search_field(:sport, Sport.all.collect {|s|[s.sport_name]})
%></td>
But it does not work obviously.
Sorry if this issue has already been raised but I did not find any
solution after searching on google and in this group posts.
Thank you in advance for your help,
Alex

What exactly are you trying to do? All that search_field does is create a HTML input with type="search" If you want a dropdown you should use collection_select or something similar -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.

Hi, Thank you for your reply. I solved my problem using Custom Form Builder. I created a custom form field for the new HTML5 datalist. If anyone is interested, I can post my solution which is definitely not optimal since I am new to rails. regards, Alexandre On 30 January 2012 17:30, Tim Shaffer <timshaffer-BUHhN+a2lJ4@public.gmane.org> wrote:> What exactly are you trying to do?

@Javier: I also watched the railscast but I prefer a "Ruby solution". The custom form builder is simple and very readable so I am gonna stick with it. :) Anyway thank you for your reply, I appreciate it.
