hi,  
When I use  
\<% for count in @total\_cellno %\>  
\<%= check\_box\_tag(“checkbox”, value = count, checked = false) %\>  
\<% end %\>  
It produce the html  
  
.  
.  
.

And controller model  
@total \<\< params[:checkbox]

but the controller model holds one value from the chacked values.

using check\_box() I can not fullfill my condition as I can not changed  
the value of each check box.

So please help me to reach to my goal.

Amin

I believe if you make the name of the checkbox, “checkbox[]”, instead  
of “checkbox”, it will give you a list of the values that were  
checked.

Does that help?
