[Rails] Re: how to give the condition between Id field and name field

If your table looked like:
question_id
nominee_id
vote_count

Then a voting page could populate a droplist with the ids and names of 
the nominees (the default should be something other than the first 
nominee to reduce 'laziness bias' in the results).  The user chooses an 
entry and submits.

The controller then takes the post, grabs the question_id, selected 
nominee id and updates the vote_count for that record.

You could go another route an populate a form with radiobuttons, one per 
nominee, but you'll need to read up on radiobuttons in forms for Rails 
as you code is a bit more involved (you'll be passing an array to the 
form, and pulling the one 'selected' option out of that list in your 
controller.
