Radio buttons not getting checked

rubyonrails-talk
1

I have the following code <%= f.radio_button "inc_in_exp_sales", "1" %>Yes <%= f.radio_button "inc_in_exp_sales", "0" %>No

works fine when adding a new record but when editing, the radio button is not check based on the record in the Database

Any ideas

sorry, if this sounds a bit newbie like, but your code should work, so the error must be in the controller

did you check, the result is stored in the db as expected?

I did and it is stored in the db as 1 or 0, actually fixed that issue by doing the following:

<%= f.radio_button "inc_in_exp_sales", true %>Yes <%= f.radio_button "inc_in_exp_sales", false %>No

Now I have a new issue

I have a partial that is being outputted through a collection statement. I wand to have a group of radio buttons but every time I try to output the partial the radio button get all grouped together no in separate groups

See #75 Complex Forms Part 3 - RailsCasts and the comments at the bottom.

Is there any strategy for using this technique with radio buttons? The problem being that instead of having separate "button groups" for each task, you end up with one huge button group for all the radio buttons across tasks, because they all use the same "name" for radio widgets in each task.

I am having the same issue
