Hi Gurus, I'm trying to tackle a drop down list. I have category and
item dbs, and they're wired up with category has_many :items and item
belongs_to :category, and an item has a category_id. I have this code
in my new/edit.html.erb for item:
<%= f.collection_select :category_id,
Category.find_main, :id, :header, {}, :multiple => false %>
And a pretty drop down list comes up, but no matter what I do, I can't
save an item with a different category--it always stubbornly records
the same one (or doesn't change it at all). The source html code
generated is:
<select id="item_category_id" name="item[category_id][]"><option
value="3">Awesome Things</option>
<option value="1" selected="selected">Good Things</option>
<option value="2">Better Things</option></select>
...and although I can "choose" a different category for an item than
'Good Things', it only records 'Good Things' (category_id 1) for all
items.
Any ideas what the problem could be here?
Many TIA,
Craig
