I’m a little lost.
What I’m trying to do is present a form with a list of choices. First column is a checkbox to select the row, the rest of the fields are data fields from related models.
I evaluated checkboxlist but I don’t think that applies in this situation since that would provide me multiple choices for a single row - not what I want.
So, trying to use checkbox.
To make this question simpler lets assume I have Students and Classes. Students need to sign up (apply) for Classes. Naturally there is a MANY_MANY relationship.
In my form I want to present a list of Classes to the Student:
<tr>
<th>Checkbox</th>
<th>Class Name</th>
<th>Teacher</th>
<th>Room</th>
</tr>
How do I show the list of classes and have the checkboxes prechecked for the records already in the join table? I am sure this is dirt simple but I am racking my brain on this one!
Do I use checkBoxList or activeCheckBoxList?
Any help much appreciated.
