Help with Forms

Rails
1

Hello all,

I am a newbie in Rails and have been trying to solve the following by
myself for the past 3 days to no avail. Any help is appreciated.

Here is what I am trying to do:

  1. Run a search on a table
  2. Create a form that will update one attribute per record within the
    result set

Here is the code:

<% @search_result.each do |result| %>
<% form_for “result” do |f| %>


<%= f.hidden_field :product_id, :value => result.id%> </
td>
<%= result.product_id %>
<%= result.merchant_id %>
<%= result.price_am %> <%= f.check_box(result.cool_ind, options = {}, checked_value = true, unchecked_value = false)%> 
  <td  align="center"><%= link_to "update", :controller =>

‘search’, :action => ‘update’ %>

    <% end %><% end %>

However, this is not working at all. The view renders fine. But I am
not sure why the id that is passed to the controller is totally out of
whack. I have tried the following hash in the controller and it gives
me an error that this is nil params[:product][:id]

In addition, it is complaining about the checkbox (i.e. false method
passed)

Could any of you tell me what hash to use in the controller?

Thanks in advance

Maybe a stupid remark: I don’t see any submit button in your form…

You should have a look at the server’ logs. Find out something like:
Parameters: {…} to understand what is sent to the controller.

Probably nothing to do with your problem but html does not allow
between

and though some browsers do not object. It is not
allowed between and
either.
