\<% @emptypes = Emptypes.find(:all)%\>  
\<% @emptypes.each do |c| %\>  
\<%= check\_box “contacts”,“xxxxx”,{},emptypes.types %\>  
in the place of “xxxxx” you have to mention the method name

Hai,

```
  The check box is created but there is no label for this. How to 

```

print with label. Please suggest me.What we write the  
method(valuesmethod())? In my code is

\<% @emptypes.each do |emptypes| %\>

```
<%= check_box "contacts","valuesmethod",{},emptypes.types %>

```

\<% end %\>
