Walter, Stewart.... Many thanks to you. Definitely making so much progress here.
All seems to be going really well, but I remain stumped at a critical point Given the model, I pass from the controller @parent = Parent.object All of the field_for aspects are working really beautifully. But in the view I need to test for a parent/child value. I know that this code is wrong: <% unless @lenders.state_id_string.blank? %> ## @lenders is the parent model, and only the fields within that model are being returned. I thought that if I define all parent associations in the AR, then the object @lenders would be aware.. ## I need to learn whether the parent with address value has state_id_string blank? ## I'm stuck. How do I do this? <% display_state_id_string = 'inline' %> <% else %> <% display_state_id_string = 'none' %> <% end %> Thanks, Liz On Friday, May 22, 2015 at 8:36:11 AM UTC-4, Elizabeth McGurty wrote: > > THANKS!
