Subject: and then there's checkboxes....
Date: Wed, 1 Sep 2010 20:24:43 -0400 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <AANLkTi=VNaJVLSbNP42KL+3nYn1ETE4SJ0Pz1P7vYRPU@mail.gmail.com> (raw)
Just a note: I've not been able to find, anywhere, docs on
how to correctly get checkboxes to POST through rack
and sinatra.
A colleague from the PHP world said, hey, you gotta
append '[]' to the name of the elements... like
<input type="checkbox" name="toppings[]" value="pepperoni"
checked="checked"> pepperoni
<input type="checkbox" name="toppings[]" value="onions" >onions
<input type="checkbox" name="toppings[]" value="jalapenos" >anchovies
Without that trailing '[]' on the name to coerce rack to store it as an array,
you are hosed - when I use "toppings", it's a string, but only the last value
checked.
Seems very odd, but heh, I understand the decision.
I thought I'd get the solution out in google land though. I had no luck
trying to find it last night.
