RoR select, retain item value

Question

hi

i am listing items using "select"

on selecting an item-3 from the list iam reloading the page, same for all the items.

When page reloads, select takes to item-1 again.

I want to retain item-3 even after page reload.

Answer 1

it's normal if you're reloading the page during, for example, a new action. for edit actions it will load the selected item.

so, if you want to reload the page preserving data/selections, you should create a specific action that takes params[] arguments and load them in the form.
