I am trying to create a listing of objects in a table with a drop down box to edit one particular aspect of each thing in the list , but I can not even get the form to render without getting a NoMethodError. Currently I have something like this:
<% for thing in @things %> //...table stuff here... <td><%=h thing.element1 %></td> <td><%=h thing.element2 %></td> <td><%=h thing.element3 %></td> //...etc, etc, and then I have the following which give me a NoMethodError... <td><%= select('thing', 'elementx', [ 'choice1', choice2'], :selected => thing.elementx ) %>
<% end %> </table>
Of course, once I fix this get the form to actually render, I still haven't quite figured out how I would then update all instances of this object with their (possibly new) values. I assume that I would just have to iterate through @things and call update_attributes on each element, but I'm not quite sure how to do that
Sorry if this is a bit of a stupid question, I'm a still learning.
Thanks, Paul
