I have a search form on my rails site. once the a user has entered a  
query it displays the results in a table with an extra field button so  
it can be added to there own portfolio called add to my stocks.

How do i get the data for the stock they want to add and put this into a  
new table called mystocks.

Is using a form submit button the right choice?

Any examples much appreciated

Regards

Nick

Thanks for quick response

How exactly do you do a checkbox with an id?

\<%= form.check\_box :stock\_id %\>?

  for example :

```

\<% form\_for _:tblpss\_description\_record_, _@tblpss\_description\_record_,  
\*  
:url\*=\>{ _:action_=\>‘view\_detail\_job\_setup’ }, _:html_=\>{ _:id_=\>  
‘frm\_view\_setup’, _:name_=\>‘frm\_view\_setup’, _:method_ =\> _:get_}  
_do_|f|%\>
