Question
I have this in my database
<input type="text" value="<%= account["accountname"] %>"/>
this will show the value of accountname in the field that I desire it too.
However, if I want the user to change that value to something else it doesn't allow that to occur.
If I put this in place of the above code sample
<%= text_field_tag :accountname, params[:accoutname] %>
This allows me to change the value and updates the database. However, the field stays blank in the views to the user.
I am wondering if there is a way for me to be able to change the database as well as display the accountname in the views
Solution 2
<input type="text" name= "accountname" value="<%= account["accountname"] %>"/>
I needed to add the name field to do what I wanted.
OTHER TIPS
Did you cut-and-paste this code? If so, you have a typo.
params[:accoutname]
:accountname
