I don't think it's odd at all.... the only reason it's not saved until the Parent is initially saved is if the parent has no ID, how cna you assign parent_id to the child ( or the join table ).
If you're modifying the children w/o touching the parent.... say categories and posts in those categories.... It would be up to the category model to validate any changes you make to it... and if you changed a post in one of those categories... or changed the category the post belonged to... why shouldn't it be changed right away? Why would I need to re-validate the category? --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.
