Displaying Data in form after using activerecord

Question

Hello,

I have a form that the user is going to interact with, by updating, etc. The data is being pulled from the database, so that the user can see previous data and add new ones as well. So basically when I try to execute the code below, I get an error, saying that there is no method...

@display = Sales.find(:all, :conditions => ['year =?', _year])
render :partial => "display" #which renders the table that has the form in it.

<td><%= text_field 'display', 'price'%></td> #is the input field

I have price as a column in my database :S

Thanks for the help guys! Merry X-mas

The display variable is an Array. You'll need to pass the results of the Sales.find in the :collection parameter of render partial:

@display = Sales.find(:all, :conditions => ['year =?', _year])
render :partial => "display", :collection => @display

That should render the partial once for each item that is returned by Sales.find
