Thanks a lot for everyone who has replied! So I have started running the debugger and I get some weird results: @item = Item.find_by_id(params[:id]) (rdb:2) @item nil (rdb:2) Item.find_by_id(params[:id]) #<Item id: 3, title: "Hello World!", location: "On the desk", comments: "***", created_at: "2011-12-07 11:43:03", updated_at: "2011-12-07 11:43 :03"> Anyone know why it isn't setting the result of Item.find_by_id(params[:id]) to the variable @item although i specifically tell it to do so: @item = Item.find_by_id(params[:id]) -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.
