You want to execute multiple inserts in a single response, not multiple responses. This might work, assuming that the rest of your code works and that you are using attachments as the relationship name.
def create @project = Project.find(params[:id]) params[:attachment].each do |key, value| if value and !value.blank? new_file = Image.new(Hash['uploaded_data' => value]) new_file.user_id = logged_in_user.id @project.attachments << new_file end end respond_to do |format| if @project.save format.js do render :update do |page| @project.attachments.each do |file| page.insert_html :top, "images", :partial => 'image', :object => file end end end end end end On Apr 7, 9:45 am, Jack Bauer <rails-mailing-l...@andreas-s.net> wrote: > Hi guys and gals. > > I don't know how to explain this too well, so I'll try my best and post > some obviously dysfunctional code (just so you can get the idea of what > I'm after if my explanation doesn't do it.) > > What I want to do is create an upload form that users can upload more > than one item with.
