Gavin,
Thank you. But suppose I didn't use a named scope -- in that case, how
then could I refer to it in my controller? (though I will follow your
advice and use the named scope, I need to know the other way also).
Also, between:
<%= f.submit "Change" , :class=>'button' %>
<% end %>
<%= links_for_uplog %>
it seems a line feed occurs......the <%= links_for_uplog %> is not
immediately to the right as I would like it to be (in <%=
links_for_uplog %>,
the rendered html appears as (copying from firebug):
<div id="uplognavlist">
<form name="channelsform" method="post" action="/ups/newchannel">
<div style="margin: 0pt; padding: 0pt;">
<input type="hidden" value="Ty9TBUArgAPxtLuvGL48Sg1uYbzlZWmSJL2dsWuL
+YQ=" name="authenticity_token"/>
</div>
<label for="ups_channel_id">Channel</label>
<select id="channel_channel_id" onchange="document.channelsform.submit
();" name="channel[channel_id]">
<option value=""/>
<option value="1">ggriptest</option>
</select>
</form>
<a title="Non-Automatic Change Log" style="float: right;" href="/
audits/list?update=UpLogBody">Audit</a>
<a title="Add or Remove Associates" style="float: right;" href="/ups/
hotwire?update=UpLogBody">Hotwire</a>
<a title="Show Uplog" style="float: right;" href="/ups/uplog?
update=UpLogBody">Uplog</a>
</div>
It appears that after either </select> or </form> there is some kind
of a line feed in the display.
Can you please answer Me those two questions Gavin? Thank You, Janna
