Kenny,

It works only if I added into my helper the method you suggest (thank
you!) Can I ask why, however, it may not work by only adding in the
line in the controller? It seems whenever I do that, things never work
and I always need to create the helper override (and if I do the
helper override, is there a necessity to put in the line in the
controller?). Thanks so much again, Janna B.
