Sorry... I assumed that since the site was called ruby-forums that this
was a forum... :-)

I will do that...

I want to list every organization in a list (whether or not they have a
count) with a text entry box that is the attendance_count for that
organization. When I write I will just ignore the organizations that
have a count of zero. The attendance_count is in the Attendees table so
I can have a many_to_many relationship. I find all kinds of references
for radio buttons and check boxes with check_box_tag and
collection_check_box, but nothing for a number field. I assumed this was
a SImple Form syntax issue and not just a Ruby/Rails syntax issue.

As in

Training Name: [ ]
Training Date: [ ]

Attendance:
-------------------------
Organization #1: [ 0 ]
Organization #2: [ 20 ]
etc...
