David, I think I see your problem. The for attribute of the label tag has to match the id attribute of the input checkbox. You have two input checkboxes with ids of "foo_bar_ids_" -- that's not really allowed by HTML, you should make that be "foo_bar_ids_19" and "foo_bar_ids_25" The for of the label tag should match the id of the input tag -- this is actually how HTML works and has nothing to do with rails (see http://www.w3schools.com/tags/tag_label.asp). I always thought that was counter intuitive myself but that's how it works. To do that, you specify :id => in the check_box_tag and also :for => label_tag (you happen to not be using label_tag, but if you were you could specify :id => ) Personally I never use HABTM, because I always find I'm going to eventually want to add a field to the join table which you can't do with HABTM. Use has_many :through => instead of HABTM. (but that is actually irrelevant to the problme you have) -Jason -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.
