Shahin. learning anything takes time. For example. the form in <%= form.label :name, "Name:" %> is called block parameter as in the following: <% form_for :person, :url => { :action => "update" } do |form| %> <%= f.error_messages %> First name: <%= form.text_field :first_name %><br /> Last name : <%= form.text_field :last_name %><br /> Biography : <%= form.text_area :biography %><br /> Admin? : <%= form.check_box :admin %><br /> <% end %> --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.
