Checkbox instead of dropdown

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??

<select name="recipe[categorie_id]">
   <% @categories.each do |categorie| %>
       <option value="<%= categorie.id %>"
         <%= 'selected' if categorie.id == @recipe.categorie_id %>>
         <%= categorie.name %>
       </option>
   <% end %>
  </select>

Grtz..remco

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 %>
