Hi Guys,
thanks for replying. I tried to do this before. The code you see is above
is doing that, I just did not show the initiation of currUser. But you can
see me trying to map the values there to each field.
I guess I will try this tonight with out individually assigning each value,
just assign the entire user object.
Can ya quickly explain why this would work as opposed to the individual
assignments I am using?
i.e.
$scope.account = {
first_name : currUser.first_name,
last_name : currUser.last_name...
I take it, it has to do probably with the fact that I am setting the values
there to the specific value at THE TIME I assign it, whereas just assigning
to the entire object it flows with angular, so if I update it it will
update as well?
