Hi, I have a few simple rails questions:
Does the check_box_tag map to an int or to a boolean field within the
database?
Thanks in advance,
-Conrad

check_box will use a 1 or 0 for checked/unchecked. The db field can be
a char, int or boolean (if the db supports it).
In a view displaying products for example:
<%= check_box(‘product’, ‘available’) %>
where ‘available’ is a field in the ‘products’ table.
Hope this helps,

Hi, what’s difference between using check_box and check_box_tag? Just
curious as to what one should use in development. Well, I must go and
thanks for the information.

check_box is used to map to a model attribute (like ‘available’ in the
‘product’ model)
check_box_tag creates a checkbox from the options you give.
