Form helper: attribute as an array

Hi,

I have a model with an attribute called "degrees". This attribute is serialized. The attribute has to store an array like this: ["degree1", "degree"]

My question is, how can I do this in my form?

I have done this but I only get the last element <% form @obj do |f| %>   <%=f.check_box :degree, "degree1" %> <% end %>

Hi,

I have a model with an attribute called “degrees”. This attribute is

serialized. The attribute has to store an array like this:

[“degree1”, “degree”]

My question is, how can I do this in my form?

I have done this but I only get the last element

<% form @obj do |f| %>

<%=f.check_box :degree, “degree1” %>

<% end %>

i’m assuming you have a list of degrees which the user can check.

upon submitting the form, you want params[:obj][:degree] to be

an array with values equal to the checked degrees. if that’s right

then you need to use check_box_tag

<% [‘degree1’, ‘degree2’, ‘degree3’].each do |degree| %>

<%= check_box_tag ‘obj[degree]’, degree %>

<% end %>

Huh?
