Take a look at the cycle helper as an alternative to this

You should use check_box_tag rather than check_box for this. Then it's
all about giving your check boxes the right names and the right
values: rather than the value submitted being 1 you want the value
submitted to be the id of the item in question. If you give the check
boxes the same name and that name ends in [] then rails will collect
the submitted values into an array for you
I wrote a bit more about parameter names at
