I’m a bit confused as to how I came to this solution but thought it might need some review. I have a number of fields that can be edited by the user. As an example, let’s say I have 5 text fields where a user can list up to 5 of their favorite Rails books, in order of favorite.
1- Agile Web Development 2- Ruby and Rails: Up and Running 3- Ruby for Rails 4- Build Your Own Ruby on Rails Web Application 5- Ruby on Rails for Dummies
Tomorrow they edit the form, move 4 and 5 off, so they are down to three books A few weeks later, The put Ruby and Rails Up and Running as number 1 and Agile Web Development as number 3
So you get the point. Well, while I sort of know I can do some comparing , size, value checking and so forth, it seems easier to just delete the current entries on update and treat the changed selections as new.
I wanted to get some opinions and see if this is an okay thing to do ?
TIA Stuart
