The example is very fragile, there's lots of different bits to it all over the place and they have to fit together just right or it won't work. So when you move the example over into your own code you'll get caught out trying to work out what has to stay the same and what can be changed. I think he expects you to be a hard core coder to be able to understand what's going on. But here's a few clues I've picked up from reading through it. 1) You'll need to understand how delegation works in unobtrusive javascript. That business of <body><div id="container"> blah blah </div></body> is crucial to get the thing to work. 2) It creates a template for each type of association on the nested level, and you're expected to have a partial with the singularized name of the association which can be used to generate the template. 3) When you create a new nested record, the js code copies the template, replaces the string "NEW_RECORD" with a time stamp and puts it inside the div with the id set as the pluralized name of the association, at the bottom. I'm trying to get it to work with has_and_belongs_to_many associations and it doesn't. Reading the code it looks like it can't work with habtm associations without a bit of a rethink, it uses record ids which is fine for hm associations, but not for habtm. You mention that you need to set things up for different object classes, so it sounds like you might be using polymorphic associations. It might not work with them either. I've given up with it, I'm writing my own code to handle habtm.
