Repeating fields on the same page

[Dudebot]

Does anyone know how I can repeat fields for a model (that would
insert into different records) in a form? E.g.

<% form_for @thing, do |f| %>
<%= f.submit "DoIt" %>
<%= f.text_field :value %>
<%= f.text_field :value %>
<% end %>

So that somehow when the user pressed "DoIt", the first value would go
into a record in thing, and the second value would go into another
record? Is this possible?

TIA,
Craig

As long as you give the fields different names (or nest them in a
different scope, eg with fields_for), then yes. You just need to do
different things with params[:thing][:value1] and params[:thing]
[:value2] in your controller

You probably should have a look into :

Thanks, Fred and Christophe. I had found the railscast on updating
multiple fields, but that wasn't exactly what I was looking for. I'll
watch the complex forms railscasts, mock up some code and get back to
the group if I remain too stupid.
