similar to: Can I use an array with fields_for ?

The one area I keep hitting my head against in Rails is repeating fields via javascript. I frequently have forms where one or more fields are actually broken out into sub tables because there can be multiple simultaneous values.

I''m using the fields_for helper with accepts_nested_attributes_for The System model has_many children. If I do this in my haml template: -form_for @system do |s| =s.text_field :name -s.fields_for :children do |child_fields| =child_fields.text_field :name all is fine. The fields_for iterates over all children and puts the correct data in the fields. But...what I

I have tried to get this question answered before with no success. I''m getting desperate! Here is a simplified description of my problem... I have a many-to-many relationship between accounts and employees, with a model table in between called AccountEmployeeRelations. There is other stuff in this table, but I don''t think that matters for now. In the controller I create

Hi There, I''m trying to user fields_for inside a form_tag, but i can''t catch it on my controller.

I have an STI model where UtilityProvider is the parent class, and there''s a sub-class for each specific utility provider. When the user goes to choose a UtilityProvider, I want to present a pull-down list of UtilityProvider.subclasses (or, more likely, a filtered version of that), and when the user hits [submit] to create the appropriate subclass.

Hi all! I am coding an application that keeps track of request to create college courses.

I''m trying to use ''fields_for'' in a form. I want the same form to support both the creation of new obejcts as well as the editing of old ones. So - in my controller, sometimes I will pass to the form an object that already exists in my database and has an id and other times I will pass it a newly created instance of an object that does not yet exist in the database and

I may be totally wrong about what the fields_for method is supposed to do, but for some reason I thought using it scoped an object around an association. For example, I have a User class and when you''re creating a new user I want to use fields_for to add a BillingAddress to the user like so: <%- fields_for :billing_address do |billing_address_form| -%> <%= render :partial

I''m trying to build something similar to a Facebook messaging app, in which the view displays all the messages for a particular thread, with a form box for replying at the bottom of the thread.
