    ok this is really basic rails question, but how do I keep an object

Rajinder, you can store the object in a session. For example, you can do the following:

Store:

session[:object_to_persist] = an_object

Retrieve:

some_local_variable = session[:object_to_persist]

For further information, I would recommend reading the relevant section from "Agile Web Development with Rails 3rd" by Dave Thomas et al.

Hi Conrad,

thanks I was not sure session object was the right way to do things. I've got 3 books on Rails and I'm hoping to get "Agile Web Development with Rails 3rd" soon =) but I'll will check out the section now.


Good look,
