Checkbox instead of dropdown

Ruby
1

Hi,

I am a RoR newby. The code below shows the categorie names, in a
dropdown from the categories table and that works fine. But now i want
to show the categories through checkboxen. How can i realise that??

<% @categories.each do |categorie| %> > <%= categorie.name %> <% end %>

   </option>

<% end %>

For this kind of question you should really check the Rails list.

Check out the rails doc http://api.rubyonrails.org/

You would put the check_box inside an iteration. so…
<% @categories.each do |category| %>
<%= check_box(category, name) %>
<% end %>
