Check Boxes in Rails

Question

Hi, I am having checkboxes in my html and pagination has also been implemented. when i select few of the check boxes in first page and go to the next page through pagination,It unselects the previous page's check box. and when i click submit it gives me values of the current page's selected check boxes only. How to retrieve all the selected check boxes in one go.

Answer 1

You have to remember that HTTP is stateless. Anything a user does on one page is not remembered unless you explicitly remember it and replicate it. Make the Next button a submit button which goes to the next page, read the checkbox values out of the post data, and set them manually on the next page.

Answer 2

I do an ajax request for every click someone does in rboard when they're moderating topics. This is a way that you could go.
