What does the HTML that gets generated look like?
This is what is generated (according to firebug):
<div id="add_milestone">
<input id="customer_account_events__event_type_id" type="hidden"
value="3" name="customer_account[events][][event_type_id]"/>
<input id="customer_account_events__is_active" type="hidden"
value="true" name="customer_account[events][][is_active]"/>
<input id="customer_account_events__user_id" type="hidden" value="1"
name="customer_account[events][][user_id]"/>
<table class="account" border="1" width="80%">
<tbody>
<tr>
<td width="5%">Milestone </td>
<td width="15%">
<input id="customer_account_events__eta" type="text" style="width:
98%;" size="30" name="customer_account[events][][eta]"/>
<img style="border: 0px none ; cursor: pointer;" src="/images/
calendar_date_select/calendar.gif?1213626238" onclick="new
CalendarDateSelect( $(this).previous(), {time:true, year_range:10} );"
alt="Calendar"/>
</td>
<td width="36%">
<textarea id="customer_account_events__description" class="full-width"
rows="2" name="customer_account[events][][description]" cols="40"/>
</td>
<td width="8%">
<select id="customer_account_events__risk_level_id" class="full-width"
name="customer_account[events][][risk_level_id]">
</select>
</td>
<td width="36%">
<textarea id="customer_account_events__risk_description" class="full-
width" rows="2" name="customer_account[events][][risk_description]"
cols="40"/>
</td>
</tr>
</tbody>
</table>
<a onclick="Element.extend(this).up($('.add_milestone')).remove();
return false;" href="#">(remove new milestone)</a>
</div>
I'm thinking there might be a problem with where the hidden fields are
located, but i am not sure.
Are the name attributes of your form_for generated input items things
like: customer_account[events][][is_active]?
Yes, they all seem to be in order.
