Hello I just started messing around with RoR yesterday. I have a simple
little data entry app I'm learning on currently. I just set it up with the
scaffold command and then used rake to make the db for me.
I have the fields all set up as "string" so they all by default from the
scaffold use this same text boxes in the new.html.erb file
Code:
<% form_for(@beer) do |f| %>
<p>
<b>Name</b><br />
<%= f.text_field :name %>
</p>
My question is what is the do |f| actually doing. What is |f| referring to?
Also how can I use a grouping of radio buttons to submit information as well
as a select box with set options? (I want to have a "yes", "no", and
"maybe") radio group for one of my fields and I want a select box with the
US States in it.
I have looked up the form stuff and all i could get it to do was display a
radio button that did nothing when submitted. - I think this is probably my
lack of understanding of 'f.'
I know it has to be a simple little thing and I look like a real noob for
asking - but hey, I am a noob! I'm really excited about learning more RoR as
I go on - its really fun so far.
Thanks!
