Hi there,

I my edit-user-page i have the following code and this works fine.

#### Kwalificaties
 \<% for education in Education.find(:all) %\> 
 \<%= check\_box\_tag "user[education\_ids][]", education.id, @user.educations.include?(education) %\> \<%= education.name%\> \<% end %\>

But now want to display it not in the checkbox but in a normal

- tag.  
(no-edit-mode)

Do you just want a list of @user.educations? if so then this should  
suffice -

\<% for education in Education.find(:all) %\> - \<%= education.name%\> 
\<% end %\>

Is that what you meant?

Nope…

I want a list of the items that are selected in the edit-page by the  
user.
