I''m writing a simple CMS where every item ("listing") HABTM categories and subcategories (which themselves belong_to a category).

Upon selecting a category from a drop down box, a new sub categories drop down box will be created (hence an AJAX call). Got this implemented and it''s ok. Now, let''s assume that a given blog can have multiple categories (and subcategories). For example, a

This is what I have so far: <% for category in @categories %> <a href="#"

Hello there! This is my first post! ;) I''m starting on ruby on rails, so I have many doubts about it! I''m trying to create a system that uses categories/subcategories.
