Hi
Supposing i have a table Employees as follows
id | Name | Age | Salary |
and use scaffold while generating model, view and controller by the
command.
ruby script/generate scaffold Employee
When I go to the new entry page by choosing
http://localhost:3000/Employees/new
I get a form with 3 fields after entering which and pressing submit
buttons the entries are submitted to the database.
I i have to add one more entry i have to again press on new link and
again enter them followed by pressing submit button. I will have to
repeat the process 100 times if i have to enter hundred records.
Instead
can I have multiple rows of input, so that i can enter all of them and
press a single submit button, after which all the entries are submitted
to the database?
Please let me know the approach i need to follow to achive this.
Thnaks

It’s possible to enter multiple rows of input. Check into using the
array notation for your object (e.g., ‘users[]’).
However, I’d think through whether that makes sense in this particular
case. You may have 100 users to add initially and that might be a
bit annoying, but is the “add a user” use case going to be used for
multiple user entries very often? It sounds like an edge case.

Thanks for the response Andy.
Well im tying to devolop an application which simulates a time
sheet(status report).
Where user may have to enter multiple rows of data.
Say for example
Project1 task1 10hrs
Project1 task2 20hrs
Project3 task1 5 hrs
etc.
and press submit button.
