Rails 3 - How to set different id (html attribute) in nested form attributes

Question

I'm developing a rails 3.0.9 app, I'm using "accept nested attributes for" to add dynamically new "child" items to its "parentW. the thing is every child has the same id (html attribute), and I need every child with its own id, because I need to make some jquery functions to work with them.

Is there a way to achieve this?

Tanks for your help

Answer 1

Adding an new element to a Nested Form was handled brilliantly in a Railscast . In it, Ryan uses javascript to replace the ID attribute with something more meaningful.

Hope this helps.
