Hi Sadeesh... thanks for your help
I tried this, and got an error when I tried to update:
"Couldn't find User with ID=update"
so I modified the code to:
<% form_for user, :url => { :action => "update", :id = user.id } do |
f| %>
and I got the same result as before... I'm thinking The problem is
probably with the users_controller :update action... which i've posted
on this thread... I'll continue to investigate
thanks again
