Hi  
My view code is

\<% for hardware\_ci in @hardware\_cis %\>

 \<%= select( "sd\_ci", "service\_desk\_ci\_association\_type\_id", ServiceDeskCiAssociationType.find(:all).collect {|p| [p.description, p.id] }) %\> \<%= hidden\_field "sd\_ci", "id", "value" =\> hardware\_ci.ci.id %\> \<% end %\>

\<% for document\_ci in @document\_cis %\>

 \<%= select( "sd\_ci", "service\_desk\_ci\_association\_type\_id", ServiceDeskCiAssociationType.find(:all).collect {|p| [p.description, p.id] }) %\> \<%= hidden\_field "sd\_ci", "id", "value" =\> document\_ci.ci.id %\> \<% end %\>

I am using submit\_to\_remote to submit this form.In controller I want to  
extract the pairs  
service\_desk\_ci\_association\_type\_id,hardware\_ci.ci.id and  
service\_desk\_ci\_association\_type\_id,document\_ci.ci.id.For example  
suppose there are total 10 items in the view and if only 2 of them are  
selected i need them. And save them to table.How can I do this.Please  
help.It is very urgent.
