Form_for submit to a different table

Rails
1

Can anyone point me in the right direction… I have created a page
using a form_for which pulls from "question’ table. I would like to
submit answer data to “student_data” table. I can’t figure out how to
submit specific fields to the alternate table. f.submit uses the table
specified by form_for (SOrry if a basic question… I’ll do the
research if someone can just help me get started)

Thanks!

Use form_tag instead form_for

Achh… should have gone to school for this!

Can I embed the form_tag in a form_for?

<%= form_for @question do |f| %>

<%= @formatted_question[:question]%>

<%= submit_tag @formatted_question[:answer_a], :name =>"A" %>

???

<%= f.submit @formatted_question[:answer_b], :name =>"B" %>

<%= f.submit @formatted_question[:answer_c], :name =>"C" %>

<%= f.submit @formatted_question[:answer_d], :name =>"D" %>

<%= f.submit @formatted_question[:answer_e], :name =>"E" %>

I need to get @formatted_question[:answer_x] from Question table
and submit the answer to a user_data table. Obviously, f.submit submits
the data to the Question table.

Thanks in advance.
