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

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

#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 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

Hi, I have a check box in a non - model based form and when I submit the form with ''Un Checked'' check box the params hash doesn''t contain the check box. Whenever I submit the form with the check box ''Checked'', I see the same coming through params hash in my controller. Since I dynamically generate the form element (Here, check box), if I

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

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''ve also tried setting notify_on_create to true in the Type model, but that doesn''t work either. Any way to get the

What is the difference between the check_box_tag and the check_box form helper? I can''t understand why both must exist. :( Thanks. Fernando Lujan

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

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''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 <

For a while i''ve been storing image in my PHP apps in the filesystem, but with the potential for a Rails project coming up i thought it was time for a review :0) In everyone''s experience, is it best to store uploaded images in the db or just stick them on the filesystem with a reference in the db? I''ve seen various performance tests and security arguments for and

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)?
