Hey i took your advice and took a closer look at the code scaffold
generates for my NEW & EDIT views and it seems that form_for takes the
same argument for edit and new which is the object itself, in this
case @category.
I used the form_for and it worked. can you explain again why it
works? that would be really helpful.
thanks,
