Hey guys, I have a loop that generates multiple radio buttons, here’s  
the code:

\<% checked = true %\>  
\<% for address in @customer.addresses %\>  
\<%= radio\_button\_tag(“address”, address.id, checked = checked)  
%\>  
\<% checked = false %\>  
\<% end %\>

\<%= link\_to ‘Confirm Order \>\>’, :controller =\> ‘store’, :action =\>  
‘confirm\_order’, :customer\_id =\> @customer , :address\_id = ??? %\>

How can I pass the selected address button to the controller ??

Please tell us what the solution was. Otherwise, you just left a false  
trail  
in the archives. They are important because nothing else documents most  
of  
the hard details around here!

The simplest way is to use a form submit instead. (You can refer to the  
selection with params[:address].)

If using form is not acceptable, you may create a javascript that would  
update the URL when the radio buttons are clicked.
