Hi Woody
Try this:
put the following in any form view file (use the blog tutorial if
nothing else):
pr ($data);
look for the name of a model and the name of a field, especially after
submitting a form with something missing (i.e. using the blog tutorial
and tryihng to create an empty post)
Note that a model INSTANCE is nowhere visible or accessible the model
NAME is but that is just data.
