Hi, I can't get my radio button to be checked by default, here is what I have:
<%= f.radio_button :gender, "male", :checked => 'true' %><p>Male</p> <%= f.radio_button :gender, "female" %><p>Female</p>
Here is the generated html:
<input type="radio" value="true" name="user[gender]" id="user_gender_male"/>
Rails is going nuts here, why is Rails generating the id "user_gender_male"??? That's why everything is going wrong.

I think, the way you are using the :checked option may be wrong.
Try with,
:checked => true :checked => 'checked'
Returns a radio button tag for accessing a specified attribute (identified by method) on an object assigned to the template (identified by object). If the current value of method is tag_value the radio button will be checked. Additional options on the input tag can be passed as a hash with options. Examples
# Let's say that @post.category returns "rails": radio_button("post", "category", "rails") # => <input type="radio" id="post_category" name="post[category]" value="rails" checked="checked" />
or just do :checked => 'checked' yourself in the options.
