Rails: form_for and radio buttons
form-for, ruby-on-rails
Solution
Ok if you want to use only the radio_buttons, check the following and let me know if thats worked.
<%= f.radio_button :multiple_classes, "1", checked: @user.multiple_classes?, class: 'multiple_classes', data: { question: 'What is your average class size?' } %> <%= f.label :multiple_classes, "Yes", class: 'multiple_classes' %>
<%= f.radio_button :multiple_classes, "0", checked: @user.multiple_classes?, class: 'multiple_classes', data: { question: 'How many kids do you teach?' } %> <%= f.label :multiple_classes, "No", class: 'multiple_classes' %>
put the `1` and `0` with quotes and try....
Its not an answer... its only an idea...
Problem
I have the following in my `form_for` ``` <div class="multiple_students"> <%= f.label :multiple_classes, "Do you teach multiple classes?" %> <%= f.radio_button :multiple_classes, 1, checked: @user.multiple_classes?, class: 'multiple_classes', data: { question: 'What is your average class size?' } %> <%= f.label :multiple_classes, "Yes", class: 'multiple_classes' %> <%= f.radio_button :multiple_classes, 0, checked: @user.multiple_classes?, class: 'multiple_classes', data: { question: 'How many kids do you teach?' } %> <%= f.label :multiple_classes, "No", class: 'multiple_classes' %> </div> <div class="number_of_students hide"> <%= f.label :students %> <%= f.text_field :students, :class=>"student_count required digits" %> </div> ``` For some reason the "No" is ALWAYS checked even if the `multiple_classes` attribute on the user is selected a true in the database (`multiple_classes` is a boolean type in the database)
