Form to handle Array type

Is there a form to handle Array type?

I generated a scaffold for a model that has Array for a field type. But the partial form does not handle this type.

How do we tie Array types to forms?

Thanks, Alex

What kind of values are you storing in your array? This may be the sort of thing you need to roll yourself.

I am storing email addresses.

Have you tried:

serialize :email_addresses, Array before_save :split_email addresses

def split_email_addresses email_addresses.split(' ') end

Or, just store email addresses in a separate table, and create a has_many relationship.
