checkboxes and loops.

I'm really having some problems here. what I've done is looped a bunch of checkboxes, but I can't get them to apply the settings. I'm sure its to do with how the form is being written, but I cant seem to pass any useful information to it.

okay database is. and I will loop through each row, and the checkbox will be ticked if leader is = 1

id
user_id
squad_id
leader (1 or null)
created_on

view looks like - which is where I think I'm having the problem with.

    <% for squad in @squads -%>
    <% @membership = Member.find(:first,                                                :conditions => ["user_id = ? and squad_id = ?", @selected_user.id, squad.id]) %>
    <dd>
    <%= check_box(:membership, :leader, {}, "1", "0") %> - 
    <%= squad.name %> [<%= squad.tag %>]<br>
  </dd>
    <% end -%>

output of the view is

<input checked="checked" id="membership_leader" name="membership[leader]" type="checkbox" value="1" /><input name="membership[leader]" type="hidden" value="0" /> - 
    Battlefield 2 [BF2]<br>
  </dd>
        
    <dd>
    <input id="membership_leader" name="membership[leader]" type="checkbox" value="1" /><input name="membership[leader]" type="hidden" value="0" /> - 
    Counter-Strike: Source [CSS]<br>
  </dd>
.....

I cant seem to make it pass the squad id into the checkbox.

and when updating can I use some sortta batch update? or do I have to create a model with a loop in it and up date each one?

thanks
