Oddly enough I put a bandaid on this issue by moving the comment_form partial from above the list of comments to under the list of comments. This fixed everything. My guess would be that since the form has fields like comment[content], it was creating an object called comment which was conflicting with the partial that listed the comments out. -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.
