Also I still stand by my advice from yesterday: inspect the elements in the browser, look at how they're named. Then look at the data sent by the browser to the server, see the name/value pairs. Then look at the params, see how RoR uses the names to structure the params. -- Scott Ribe scott_r...@elevated-dev.com http://www.elevated-dev.com/ (303) 722-0567 voice -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.
