Yes it should work. Did you try it? I would say though that you should use form_for rather than form_tag if possible. So if the form is displaying data for an object then use form_for. If you are a beginner then, if you have not already done so, I suggest you work right through some tutorials such as railstutorial.org (which is free to use online), that will give you a good basic knowledge of rails. Make sure you use a tutorial for rails 3 and install the correct version of Rails. Colin -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.
