I need to create in RoR 2.3.5 a list of questions ( the number of questions will be changing). The answers will be near to each of the these questions in radiobuttons (let’s say 3 radios near each of thequestions). After having compleated all of these questions I would like to read all the answers and using ONE update insert them to the database(mySQL). Is it possible to create this functionality without js? Kind regards, Smok ---

Or am I misunderstanding your goal? – Hassan S. ------------------------ removed\_email\_address@domain.invalid twitter: @hassan ---

However I don’t know how to define the radiobuttons (in such a way that a different answer can be checked for different questions). And I don’t know how to read all the user’s answers. Could you try to paste a bit of code? ---

Could you try to paste a bit of code? No, first learn about HTML form syntax (hint: the “name” attribute is significant here) and read the Rails documentation. If that doesn’t work, show us what you’ve done so far and what problems you’re having. Asking for code without “doing your homework” first will usually get you ignored here. ## Best, Marnen Laibow-Koser [http://www.marnen.org](http://www.marnen.org) removed\_email\_address@domain.invalid ---

Thanks guys for your responses. For the future - it would be great if you could to give some kind of hint or high level description how to approach soloving the problem. Such as reading about FORM, some links would be great. Thanks ! ---

Beat me by a minute 🙂 I was going to suggest that the OP has apparently never read this [http://www.w3.org/TR/html401/interact/forms.html](http://www.w3.org/TR/html401/interact/forms.html) and that it’d be an excellent place to start… – Hassan S. ------------------------ removed\_email\_address@domain.invalid twitter: @hassan
