i have two radio buttons (member/non-member), and would like to set the  
price of adding attendees to a meeting based on the selection of the  
radio button. A shopping cart seems like over-kill for this, but other  
than that i’m stuck.

Member Type  
\<%= f.radio\_button :membertype, :class =\> ‘radio button’ %\> Member  
\<%= f.radio\_button :membertype, :class =\> ‘radio button’ %\>  
Non-Member

thank you,  
Jason

Store the value of the radio in a session – then you can reuse that  
value anywhere you need to.
