Thanks a lot, that works fine! Out of interest though, this passes "author_id" in the params as an empty string, so I have to write: if params.has_key?(:author_id) and not params[:author_id].empty? instead of just: if params.has_key?(:author_id) Does prompt pass any value in in the params? It would also be nice to understand why :prompt => true isn't working. -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.
