    <p>I have an model (CustInfo), which contains 3 attributes: cust_name, age, gender. In my edit view, I use form_for for form submission:</p> <pre><code>&lt;%= form_for @cust[0] do |cust| %&gt; &lt;label for="cname"&gt;Customer name: &lt;/label&gt; &lt;%= cust.text_field :cust_name, :size =&gt; 20 %&gt; &lt;label for="age"&gt;Customer age: &lt;/label&gt; &lt;%= cust.text_field :age, :size =&gt; 5 %&gt; &lt;label for="gender"&gt;Gender &lt;/label&gt; &lt;%= radio_button_tag(:gender, "F", :checked =&gt; (:gender == 'female')? true:false) %&gt;&lt;span style="float:left"&gt;F&lt;/span&gt; &lt;%= radio_button_tag(:gender, "M", :checked =&gt; (:gender == 'male')? true:false) %&gt;&lt;span style="float:left"&gt;M&lt;/span&gt; &lt;%= cust.submit "Save" %&gt; &lt;% end %&gt; </code></pre> <p>In my controller I have</p> <pre><code>def update if Cust.update_all(params[:custinfo]) flash[:notice] = "Successfully updated!" redirect_to :action =&gt; "index" else flash[:notice] = "There are errors in the form, please try again" render :action =&gt; "edit" end end </code></pre> <p>When I press submit button, the form submitted, and its parameters are like this: </p> <pre><code>Parameters: {"utf8"=&gt;"✓", "authenticity_token"=&gt;"I9QEdP1mRr65wT9TRbzNokkaa+LHVyPfmgWJMKoup", "custinfo"=&gt;{"age"=&gt;"16", "cust_name"=&gt;"jsmith"}, "gender"=&gt;"M","commit"=&gt;"Save"}. </code></pre> <p>It looks like gender does get passed through params, but it's not within the params[:model], in this case params[:custinfo] and that's why the update function wouldn't update this value (because I only had Cust.update_all(params[:custinfo])). My question is that why only this radio button isn't in params[:custinfo], while the other two are? And how can I pass the radio button value inside params[:custinfo]? Thanks!</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.
