How to: use one form for updating an entry which the user specifies by.e.g., click on it.

Hello, thank you for paying attention to my post! So basically, I have a list of entries: <% for x in Chore.find(:all) %> <li><%= x.title %></li> <% end %>

<%= form_tag :url => {:controller => 'chore', :action => 'update'} do %> <%= text_field_tag :title %> <%= submit_tag %> <% end %>

Let's say, one chore entry is spelled incorrectly and I would like to change it, could I do something as clicking on the title and then it shows up in the text field, then I change the spelling and hit submit?

The difficulty I encountered is how one passes the "id" to the URL so that the update "knows" whom to update.

Thank You A Million!!

Yeah, take a look into in-place editing.
