Thanks for the assistance. I've been looking at the guides, and I found this in 7.3 of the forms guide: <% form_for @person do |person_form| %> <%= person_form.text_field :name %> <% for address in @person.addresses %> <% person_form.fields_for address, :index => address do |address_form|%> <%= address_form.text_field :city %> <% end %> <% end %> <% end %> I believe I can do something similar with @lpl_short_form_app.practices :) I'll try it out and report my results, for people who may be searching for similar results. -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.
