Check box value in array

Rails
1

Hi guys,
I have a group of check box in rails page.
check box Code as below:
<% for count in @total_cellno %>

<% end %>

I want to receive the selected value in my controller model.

@selected_box << params[“checkbox”]
I guess that it provides values in a array.
But @selected_box contains only one selected value.
How can i capture all checked value in a array?
Any idea?
Please help me…

if you name your checkboxes like this

you’ll get what you like

Parameters: {“commit”=>“Do”, “checkbox”=>{“1”=>“1”, “3”=>“1”}}

hint: there is a check_box_tag() helper !

Hi Marcel,
I use check_box_tag for check box ( according to ur hints)

<% for count in @total_cellno %>
<%= check_box_tag(“checkbox”, value = count, checked = false) %>
<% end %>

and in controller model I use following code to retrive the value in
Hash:
@total = params[“checkbox”]
In @total only one value is stored.
Where is the problem? please take a hand. Thx in advanced.

I think you won’t get more than one if you name them all the same.
Give it a name as I explained:

<%= check_box_tag(“checkbox[<%=count.to_s%>]”, value = count,
checked = false) %>

or

<%= check_box_tag(“checkbox[]”, value = count, checked = false) %>
