Hi Philip, I am reasonably new to rails, i've fallen in love with it :). Reading your response, though I understand what your saying but I don't have enough knowledge on how one can do something like that, could you be generous enough to share some resource links or something where I could read something about it? Thanks!
Thanks & Regards, Dhruva Sagar.
