I am using the date_select helper to generate date select elements in a form. I notice that the generated HTML shows that these selects have the following names: Month: current_job[StartDate(2i)] Day: current_job[StartDate(3i)] Year: current_job[StartDate(1i)] I''m assuming that the Xi identifiers somehow specify the appropriate date part from a date or time value. Can anyone shed some light on how this works? Where can I get definite info. on it? Also, I am...

...th checkboxes in a list. I want to be able to assign to my has_many relationship using the post values of these checkboxes. Essentially, I want to populate the relationship table which will create the correct join values in my model. Here is my check_box_tag code: <%= check_box_tag("@current_job[target_list_ids][]", tlist.DataSetID, @current_job.target_lists.include?(tlist)) %> So, in this example, tlist is an element of another array that I''m starting with to give me the list of choices. But what I want is to assign these choices...

I see that if I use the date_select helper in my view, then in the generated page, my selects are named obj[datetime_field(1i)] (and 2i and 3i for the other parts). These auto-populate the date portion of my datetime_field. I have another datetime field that I''m presenting the time from and I would like to use a similar scheme to autopopulate it. Currently, I''ve used the

I had a situation where I wanted to use a <%= %> (scriptlet) in my text_field call to set the "disabled" attribute on the text field, like so: <%= text_field(:current_job, ''removeLinkPos'', :value => '''', :id => ''offset'', :maxlength => 2, :disabled => <%= sometest ? ''true'' : ''false'' %>) %> however, this caused a compile error. I ended up with an if/else s...

...e an element of my model to be invalid, but not generate any message for it, so that the corresponding form field on a form will show up with the ''fieldWithErrors'' class. I have some checkboxes on my RHTML form, and they are generated with this code <%= check_box_tag("current_job[target_list_ids][]"...etc. %> target_list_ids is an attr_accessor attribute and does not exist in the backing table for my model. If none of these checkboxes are checked when the form is submitted, the validate method puts up a message complaining. That''s fine. But I also wan...

All, I''m finally doing my first real form in Rails - the model object that I''m entering information for has 8 validations so far. If I type in good values for all the fields but one, I get the pretty validation, and the nice field highlighting, but all of the fields are cleared, forcing me to retype all of that info. That is a big drag. Is there a standard way to get the

All, I''m wanting to initialize an ActiveRecord object. I understand that there is a method called after_initialize that appears to get called right after the ActiveRecord object is instantiated. Is after_initialize a Ruby thing or a Rails thing? Where is after_initialize documented? Can I pass parameters to it? If so, how? I want to initialize the "belongs_to" attribute of

I just took my HABTM and turned it into a :through since my join table has another "non-joiny" attribute. I went from this: has_many_and_belongs_to :jobs, :join_table => ''tablename'', :foreign_key => ''x'', :association_foreign_key => ''y'' to this: has_many :jobs, :through =>
