What does your model look like? Do you have the appropriate has_many and belongs_to for the "subcomments" to work?
In general, you shouldn't need to specify comment_id for the child when you access it via the has_many relationship. For example: @comment = Comment.find(params[:id]) new_comment = @comment.subcomments.create Rails knows that new_comment is a child of @comment since you accessed it via subcomments. Another example: @comment = Comment.find(params[:id]) new_comment = Comment.create(:comment_id=>@comment.id) This is basically the same as above, except instead of creatin through subcomments, you can specify the parent comment_id. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.
