I have a series of checkboxes in a form generated as follows: <% for user in @active_users %> <p><%= user.firstname + " " + user.surname%> <%= check_box ''assigned_tasks'', ''user_id'', {:index => user.id}, user.id, nil %></p> <% end %> I''d like to have one of them selected when user.id is equal to the

I''ve tried this (in a new method/template -- so @type doesn''t actually exist yet): check_box ''type'', ''notify_on_create'', {:checked=>''true''} But :checked seems to get swallowed. I''ve also tried setting notify_on_create to true in the Type model, but that doesn''t work either. Any way to get the

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 <

In the example below, what is the dash doing between the class attribute and array: (field_helpers - [:label, :check_box, :radio_button, :fields_for, :hidden_field, :file_field]).each do |selector| -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.

I''m trying to implement a bunch of checkboxes whose value I need to use to process more code without updating the db. This is my code to for the checkbox in my view input type=checkbox id=<%=search.name%>_selected name=<%=search.name%>[selected]> I guess my question is, when I''m back in the controller, how do I get at the actual value (checked or unchecked)? It

I have a User ActiveRecord model that has email and password properties. I want to build a login for that has a "remember me" option. My view looks like this: <% @page_title = "Login" -%> <%= error_messages_for ''user'' %> <%= form_tag %> <table> <tr> <td align="right" width="1%"

Hi ActionView::Helpers::FormHelper methods (e.g. #text_field, #check_box...) take object_name as an argument. From this argument they infer a name that is supposed to contains the reference to the relevant object. I can''t see why the FormHelper methods were designed that way. Compared to simply passing them a reference, the current way seems too complicated and an invitation to problems

in the mean time i am using a checkbox like this : <input type="checkbox" name="var[car]" <%= var.car ? ''checked'' : '''' unless @var == nil %> /> but i am sure there is something better than this in rails like <%= checkbox_tag ''var'', ''car'', :checked => true %> but this is not

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. The normal way (with a model) would be: <%= check_box(''client'', ''accept'', {}, "1", "0") %> But since accept is a variable @accept and model client will not be there, how do I make a check box work? Regards, Paul

Noobie question here. :) I have a form with check boxes on them. I simply want the user to check the appropriate boxes, click the action (Add Visits). It''s my understanding, that these check box values go into a hash (add_visit_for_this_Pt), but I can''t seem to get this hash back to my controller for processing. Below is my form. Basically, all the controller is

Hi all, I was wondering if anybody could help me figure why a view cannot find a method that I defined in another class. I do this in the view: (let''s say index.rhtml) <%= check_box("item_search_page", "method_name") Here, item_search_page is a variable in the view''s controller, which creates a new ItemSearchPage object. And I defined

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

Hi, I want to extend formbuilder to make it output a lable (I know about labeled_form_helper made by technoweenie), my own formating, and a couple of extra tags inside the form attribute.

All, I''m populating a view with 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][]",

Hey guys, I''m trying to have a simple webform in my administration section to add a user. I have the text_fields for adding the user''s name, password, and password confirmation, but cannot seem to figure out the checkbox. I want it to be a single checkbox, that if clicked, will set the database column "access" to be "admin" and if its unchecked, set it to be

Hi all, After many days of struggling, I have a multi-model form with ajax elements more or less working, but I''m hitting a wall with a few bugs that I can''t figure out. Guidance would be very much appreciated. I''m using the Ryan Bates technique from Advanced Rails recipes to dynamically add and remove elements on a multi-model form.

Thank you in advance. Although I have many years of experience in general, including cross- platform processing, I am not an HTML/Javascript programmer. As a result, I do not have certain specific baseline skills and/or knowledge that are presumed in the Rails and Ajax documentation. I am experienced with DOM manipulations, so the bare mechanics of manipulating the browser GUI via Javascript
