haha, thanks, already did. HAML sounds good > Where in the controller are you setting the variable? Let's see the > entire controller method that you're using. I was setting it at the top of the controller, thinking it would propagate to all the methods. class ServicesController < ApplicationController @durations = {"30 minutes" => "30", "1 hour" => "60", "1 hour 30 minutes" => "90", "2 hours" => "120"} def index @services = Service.all ... end But then I moved it inside the method. def new @service = Service.new @durations = {"30 minutes" => "30", "1 hour" => "60", "1 hour 30 minutes" => "90", "2 hours" => "120"} .... It gave me another descriptive error message that led me to fix the form partial. <div class="field"> <%= f.label :duration %><br /> <%= f.select ("duration", @durations, :prompt => "Select") %> </div> And it works now! XD Sorry, I know this is probably very basic but I just started yesterday my first Rails application outside of a tutorial book. Thanks for pointing me in the right direction! :D -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.
