similar to: how is form data sent to the conntroller?

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

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%"

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

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

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][]",

Okay so I have a typical search page where a keyword is entered and results are retrieved that match the keyword. What I want to do now is have checkboxes to search for results in specific areas (my site is a big events calendar with "streams" and "audiences") I want to use the checkboxes to look for results in ''streams'', ''audiences'', or

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. Suggestions? Thanks! -- Posted via

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

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 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''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 <

Hi, I have the following code working in a rails 3 view, but it is unfortunately not pure rails code! <% @filter1 = "tr.show1,tr.show2" %> <% @filter2 = "tr.show1" %> <% @filter3 = "tr.show2" %> <form> <p> <input type="checkbox" value=<%=@filter1%> onclick="$ (this).is('':checked'')

On my registration form I have a checkbox for a waiver. In the model I have the statement: validates_acceptance_of :waiver, :on => :create, :message => "must be accepted" In the view: <%= check_box_tag("waiver") %> <%= error_message_on "user", "waiver", "Waiver "%> For some reason validate is accepting everything when the
