I appreciate the response and the link and I understand that it's frustrating when you feel like you're answering the same question over and over again. Maybe one of the reasons this HABTM of question is getting asked so frequently is that nobody's provided a really good, definitive answer of how this works with clear example code for our models, views, and controllers. I realize the onus is on us beginners to educate ourselves, and maybe I'm an idiot who can't type five letters in a search box, but I'm obviously not the only person who's running into problems with this.
Thanks for your help.
