similar to: Getting check_box to default to checked?

Hi, I would like to put a checkbox on a form where the input field is a variable rather than a field in a model.

Regards, Paul

I''m using Rails 1.1.x and it looks like the check_box form helper expects me to provide and object and method so it can determine if the checkbox should be checked or not. I''m having a couple of issues with this. note: I''m using UserEngine and adding a HABTM so that: class User < ActiveRecord::Base has_and_belongs_to_many :foos end class foo <

I tried :default=>1 as well (same

#check_box and #check_box_tag are going to be the end of me. Why is this always checked? <% checked = @reservation.selected ? ''checked'' : nil %> <td><%= check_box_tag("reservation[" + @reservation.id.to_s + "][selected]", ''checked'', :checked => checked) %></td>

I''m new to RoR and I''m having a little problem that I can''t solve. My model is simple. I have Lists and ListItems. I have a view that loops through all the list items, and I put the HTML for the each list item row in a partial called _list_item.rhtml. This is the view, called show.rhtml <ul> <%= render(:partial => "list_item", :collection =>

Hello all. Am I going totally nuts here and just want to check (Natch!) something. A normal check_box has two value posssibilities. One for checked and one for unchecked, the value gets submitted with a form. The check_box_tag on the other hand, has a checked_value (Called just ''value'') and for the unchecked value...nothing, zip, nada. This means that if you submit a form with
