checkbox not checked in nested form

Question

I have a form

<%= nested_form_for @parent do |p| %>
  <%= p.fields_for :child do |c| %>
    <%= c.check_box :boolean_field %>
  <% end %>
<% end %>

why this check box is not checked when I want to edit a parent record while it is already c.boolean field is set to true and I can see value of text box is set to 1. How can I over come I tried a lot now its annoying me.

<%= c.check_box :boolean_field, :checked => true %> should work.

what do you see in your inspect element.

seeing a value=1 has nothing to do with checked, It should be something like checked="checked" or true or just checked. try editing the html in your inspect element and putting checked="checked"

You need to do something like this

<%= c.check_box :boolean_field, :checked => @parent.boolean_field %>

damn mistake some one write this method in a js file

$( document ).ready(function() {
  $('input:checkbox').removeAttr('checked')
});
