checkbox instead of dropdown

[Remco Swoany]

Hi,

I am a RoR newby. The code below shows the categorie names, in a
dropdown from the categories table and that works fine. But now i want
to show the categories through checkboxen. How can i realise that??



<select name="recipe[categorie_id]">
<% @categories.each do |categorie| %>
<option value="<%= categorie.id %>"
<%= 'selected' if categorie.id == @recipe.categorie_id %>>
<%= categorie.name %>
</option>
<% end %>
</select>

Grtz..remco

For this kind of question you should really check the Rails list.

Check out the rails doc http://api.rubyonrails.org/

You would put the check_box inside an iteration. so..
<% @categories.each do |category| %>
<%= check_box(category, name) %>
<% end %>
