checkboxes in a loop - I get the same id

rubyonrails-talk

<% f.fields_for :keys do |key_form| %>     <%= check_box_tag "keys_to_update", key_form.object.id %>     <%= key_form.label :name, key_form.object.name %> <% end %>

This is the output:

<input id="keys_to_update_" name="keys_to_update" type="checkbox" value="4" /> <input id="keys_to_update_" name="keys_to_update" type="checkbox" value="5" />

I try to use cucumber and check only one of them (or all of them) but need an id.

Thanks!

This is the output:

<input id="keys_to_update_" name="keys_to_update" type="checkbox" value="4" /> <input id="keys_to_update_" name="keys_to_update" type="checkbox" value="5" />

You can override the automatically generated id with anything of your choice (the last argument to check_box_tag is a hash of html options
