Question

i’m having a problem to create a text_field without a method association. Maybe i even don’t need it 🙂

I have two radio_buttons associated to the same method:

<%= radio_button :comment, :author, 'anonymous' %> Anonymous <br> <%= radio_button :comment, :author, 'real_name' %> Name <br> 

What i would like to do is to have an text_field which when the user click on the radio_button ‘real_name’ i can verify the value in this new text_field.

Basically my Controller would be something like:

@comment = Comment.new(params[:comment])

if @comment.author == ‘real_name’ @comment.author = ‘value-from-the-new-textfield end

There is any way to do it?

Regards,

Victor

If you want to generate a text_field without an associated object/method, use text_field_tag
