riiiiight... but does one of have the id that you're selecting through params? ;-) If not, @item will be nil. Try replacing : @item = Item.find_by_id(params[:id]) wiht @item = Item.find(params[:id]) ...as find will raise an exception if it doesn't find a matching record. Then have a look at how to do use the debugger in Rails to inspect your code as it runs. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.
