I have a few forms i need to do. (IE: Sales Survey Form, Production  
Survey Form, Tech Support Survey Form Etc.) but i don’t know how to or  
where to get started or anything. Each form like the sales form is  
completely separate from the production form etc and each have like 4  
questions or so each having one answer to choose from as a radio  
button. But one of which can have multiple answers chosen from radio  
buttons as the select function on the form. Another question has a  
text box that you write comments in.

I guess i need to know if there is s tutorial that can show me how to  
make this and whats the easiest way to do so.

There might be something on [http://railscasts.com/](http://railscasts.com/) or see  
[http://www.railsforum.com/viewtopic.php?id=6790](http://www.railsforum.com/viewtopic.php?id=6790)

Watch out for ruby magic - eg. instance variables that must match your  
field names. mBasically I would find a tutorial that works, and slowly  
morph it into what you need, testing after each major change and beng  
careful with the naming of things.
