I’m trying to build a form that will edit multiple objects from the same
model. As you can see in the view below, I have a company model that
has_many addresses to edit. However, I’m trying to go one further by
adding the option to this form to add more addresses on the fly… How
do I do this? Wouldn’t I want to re-render my edit form with an appended
set of empty fields for the new address in addition to ones that are
already populated? As you can see I’ve added a link helper at the bottom
to respond to this request, but what next? I would appreciate any help.
Thanks.
<% form_tag :action => 'update', :id => @company do %>
<p><label for="company_name">Company Name</label><br/>
<%= text_field 'company', 'name' %></p>
<fieldset>
<legend>Addresses</legend>
<% for @address in @address %>
<p><label for="street_1">Street 1</label><br/>
<%= text_field 'address[]', 'street_1' %></p>
<p><label for="street_2">Street 2</label><br/>
<%= text_field 'address[]', 'street_2' %></p>
<p><label for="city">City</label><br/>
<%= text_field 'address[]', 'city' %></p>
<p><label for="state">State</label><br/>
<%= text_field 'address[]', 'state' %></p>
<p><label for="zip_code">Zip Code</label><br/>
<%= text_field 'address[]', 'zip_code' %></p>
<% end %>
<%= link_to 'Add new address', :action => 'add_address', :id =>
@company %>
</fieldset>
<%= submit_tag 'Edit' %>
<% end %>
