Question

I asked this same question about a week ago, but I might not have been clear with what I wanted.
I already have a table created that is sorted/filtered by several different select boxes.
I need the first column in my table to increment, for example:

1 |

2 |

3 |

etc.

I know that this is a simple problem that has an easy explanation, but I have not been able to figure it out. I would like it to function something like the teams in this website: http://espn.go.com/college-football/rankings

Any help is greatly appreciated

Thanks,

Jack

If you just want number in a table that always run consecutively (1,2,3), then just do:

<% count = 1 %>
<table>
  <% collection.each do |c| %>
    <tr>
      <td><%= count %></td>
      <td>other info...</td>
    </tr>
    <% count += 1 %>
  <% end %>
</table>

Or, even shorter (as suggested in the comments by “@mu is too short”)

<table>
  <% collection.each_with_index do |item, index| %>
    <tr>
      <td><%= index %></td>
      <td><%= item </td>
    </tr>
  <% end %>
</table>
