Basically what I''m trying to do is create a way for users to enter "keywords" that will then be searchable. I.e., when a user creates a new Item, there is also a keywords field in the database that is a string like "purple triangle free" -- but all the user sees when they are creating the keywords is a series of checkboxes like: __blue __red __purple __circle

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.

Hello all. Am I going totally nuts here and just want to check (Natch!) something. A normal check_box has two value posssibilities.

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?

Code: <%= check_box_tag("person[#{person.id}][is_approved]", 1, true) %> Rendered output: <input checked="checked" id="person[7][is_approved]" name="person[7][is_approved]" value="1" type="checkbox"> Problem: The value of "1" is always passed, even if the box is UNCHECKED.

I have a checkbox tag as follows: <%= f.check_box :receive_offers %> When I view source in the html, I see the value of the checkbox is "1", with the normal hidden field value of "0". However, after posting the form and saving to the database, the Mysql column, which is a TinyInt, is ALWAYS 0. I''ve tried it with true/false values instead, and no luck. Any

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%"

#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>

Hi, I have this in my form <%= check_box_tag(@accept, value = "1", checked = false) %> Which puts a nice checkbox on my form but when I try to retrieve the value that is returned, which I expect to find in @accept, there is nothing. How do I check the returned value? Thanks, Paul Thompson

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''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 <
