    <p>One of the things I'm doing includes several links on the <strong>show</strong> view. For instance, I have a link (or button) for "Accepting", and another one for "Rejecting". Click on Accept, and the model updates the is_accepted field as true, click on Reject, and the is_accepted field is false.</p> <p>Now, how best do I handle this? In ASP.NET, I would have simply created a LinkButton and written a handler, but Rails doesn't work that way, so I'm trying to figure out how to essentially replicate what a LinkButton would do. </p> <p>Right now, I'm coding two forms on the same view, nearly identical, that look like this:</p> <pre><code>&lt;%= form_for @thing do |f| %&gt; &lt;%= hidden_field_tag 'thing[is_accepted]', '1' %&gt; &lt;%= f.submit "Accept" %&gt; &lt;% end %&gt; &lt;%= form_for @thing do |f| %&gt; &lt;%= hidden_field_tag 'thing[is_accepted]', '0' %&gt; &lt;%= f.submit "Reject" %&gt; &lt;% end %&gt; </code></pre> <p>This feels weird to me, but I can't seem to find anything that says this is the wrong way to do it.</p> <p>I could, I assume, dry things up by using a partial and/or a helper method, but I wanted to make sure I'm on the right track and not doing something totally wrongly.</p>

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
