@Franz Thanks this worked great well kinda, I'm confused on why there is the '.id' at the end also how would I limit this to give me say the first 3 from the back of the list instead of :all or :first and :limit => 3 didn't work because i am calling this in my 'MyModel.rb' file so in my index.html.erb file its set for .each with a do loop and every other thing i have tried has bombed People may say RoR is fun and easy and at the beginning it is but sometimes its really frustrating -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.
