Ruby on Rails/Javascript - Form_for is not evaluating to true, defaults to false

0

So I have a simple form for people to fill out if they want to request items, either delivered or shipped overseas. They answer a simple Yes or No.

Question: What should I be adding to this code so the option of Yes does evaluate to True, and the option No evaluated to false, and is not defaulting to False for the "Item Delivered" question.

NOTE: I have left code out intentionally, assume Ruby on Rails does work correctly as I may have left out <% end %> or other code bits.

This is the code, with stuff omitted:

new.html.erb

<%= form_for @items do |f| %>

          <div class="form-group">

             <%= f.label :"Pick up item?" %><br />

              <div class="form-inline">

               <div class="radio inline ">

                 <%= f.label :pickup, "Yes", :value => "Yes"  %>

                 <%= f.radio_button :pickup, true%>

               </div>

               <div class="radio inline ">

                 <%= f.label :pickup, "No", :value => "No" %>

                 <%= f.radio_button :pickup, false, :checked => true %>

               </div>

             </div>

          </div>



        <div class="form-group">

           <%= f.label :"Item delivered?" %><br />

            <div class="form-inline">

             <div class="radio inline requestOption optionDropoff">

               <%= f.label :delivered, "Yes", :value => "Yes"  %>

               <%= f.radio_button :delivered, true%>

             </div>

             <div class="radio inline requestOption">

               <%= f.label :delivered, "No", :value => "No" %>

               <%= f.radio_button :delivered, false, :checked => true %>

             </div>

           </div>

        </div>



        <div id="itemRequestAddress" style="display: none">

          <%= f.label :"Delivery address" %>

        <div class="form-group form-inline" id="itemAddress">

            <%= text_field(:item, :address, :class => "form-control", :placeholder => "Delivery Address", :style => "width: 100%") %>

          </div>

        </div>



<script type="text/javascript">

    $(".requestOption").on("change", function(){

        $("#itemRequestAddress").toggle($(this).hasClass("optionDropoff"));

    });

</script>

show.html.erb

    <tr>

        <td> Pick up. </td>

        <td> <% if @item.pickup %>

            <%= 'Yes' %>

          <% else %>

            <%= 'No' %>

          <% end %>

        </td>

    </tr>



    <tr>

        <td> Item delivered. </td>

        <td> <% if @item.delivered %>

            <%= 'Yes' %>

          <% else %>

            <%= 'No' %>

          <% end %>

        </td>

    </tr>



    <tr>

        <td> Delivery Address </td>

        <td>

                <%= @request_item.address %>

        </td>

    </tr>

So Pick up option does evaluate to either True or False, when either the Yes or No option is chosen. When I do Delivery, it always evaluations to No, regardless of whether I choose Yes or No. What have I done wrong here?
