Checkboxes and its label's for attribute

[Andy Shen]

Hi,

I am on a page that renders forms for a number of account models.
Each account has a boolean column called 'active'.
So there are multiple checkboxes and their label all have the same
"for" attribute which means clicking the label is only going to check
the first checkbox instead of the corresponding input next to the
label.

My question is what would you recommend such that clicking the label
will tick the expected checkbox input?

Thanks,
Andy

This probably means that all your checkboxes have the same id. Check you html output to see that.

What you can do is add a default for/id to your label/input by setting the :id in the input_html option, like this:

    f.input :active, :input_html => { :id => "active_x" }

Where x would probably be something that represents the given checkbox, like a numeric index.

Thanks, that worked as expected now.

Hello,

In case the check box is nested within the label, normally no for attribute should be necessary.

Is there a way to disable rendering the for attribute for check boxes?

Thank you,
