Those self-closing textarea tags look strange to me. Is that valid HTML? When I tuck that blob of html in a <html><body></body></html> I don't get something FF or IE will render correctly.
Not that I could tell you why the text_area form helper would produce that code, mind you... :( -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Nathan R Sent: Tuesday, September 16, 2008 11:24 AM To: Ruby on Rails: Talk Subject: [Rails] Re: fields for grouping problem 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.
