copied!<p>I think you're getting confused with how to handle data in Rails (or any backend system)</p> <hr> <p><strong>HTML</strong></p> <p>HTML is a markup language; which means if you give it certain code, it will put various elements onto the page. The <code><table></code> tag is one of those elements, and has no bearing on the controller-side functionality of your app</p> <hr> <p><strong>Controller Params</strong></p> <p>HTML form params are directly related to the <code>form</code> (nothing else)</p> <p>In Rails, you get the params hash ordered like this:</p> <pre><code>params[:form_name][:input_name] </code></pre> <hr> <p><strong>Your Code</strong></p> <p>From what you've shown, it seems you have several parts missing</p> <p>Firstly, you need <code>input</code> elements (to populate the params). Currently, you have:</p> <pre><code><td contenteditable class="border light_green"><%= value %></td> </code></pre> <p>This does not create any params, as it's not an input element. It's just a value that's been outputted on the screen. What you'd need is something like:</p> <pre><code><td contenteditable class="border light_green"><%= text_field_tag :cell, :value => value %></td> </code></pre> <p>By adding these inputs, you will give Rails the ability to populate the params hash with their values, which you can then access from your controller like this:</p> <pre><code>def save @table = params[:form_name][:cell][0] end </code></pre> <p>Hope this helps?</p>
