Use custom id for check_box_tag in Rails

Question

How do you set a custom id when using a check_box_tag helper in rails?

I have a loop which creates a bunch of checkboxes based on a collection:

- subject         


        

Answer 1

Think I figured it out...

- subject.syllabus_references.each do |sr|
  = check_box_tag "question[syllabus_reference][#{sr.id}]", sr.id
  = label_tag "question[syllabus_reference][#{sr.id}]", sr.name

This works but if you have a better way let me know!
