That should be fine as far as I can see, though I don't understand the extra [] in the html you showed. One question, you said that it is not saving the new category id value, are you sure that it is not saving it, or is it possibly just not displaying it when you come round next time. Have a look in the db to see. Another question, in an earlier post you showed the record being saved by update_attributes, what are you doing if that fails? In other words is the save succeeding? I am getting to the point where I don't know what is happening I am afraid.
