Rails - Oct 2006 - Saving many_to_many

Ahoy, i''m trying to save a many to many between "talent" and
"vital
stat"



talent_controller.rb

  def edit
    @talent = Talent.find(params[:id], :include => [:talent_type,
:vital_stats])
    @talent_types = TalentType.find_all
    @vital_stats = VitalStat.find_all

    if request.post?
      @talent.attributes = params[:talent]
      @talent.attributes = params[:talent_type]
      if @talent.update_attributes(params[:vital_stat][:id])
        flash[:notice] = ''Talent was successfully updated.''
      end
    end
  end

  def delete


Form fields for checkboxes
  <fieldset>
    <legend>Select Vital Stats</legend>

    <% VitalStat.find(:all).each do |g| %>

       <%= form_bit_checkbox(''vital_stat'', g.id, g.title,
'''', '''',
@talent.vital_stats.include?(g) ? {''checked'' =>
''checked''} : '''') %>
    <% end %>
    <div class="cleaner"></div>
  </fieldset>


My problem is that the talent isn''t being updated w/ the checked or
unchecked fields. The returned PARAMS could look like this:

commit: Save
action: edit
talent: !map:HashWithIndifferentAccess
  title: Casting Director
id: "2"
talent_type: !map:HashWithIndifferentAccess
  talent_type_id: "1"
controller: talent
vital_stat: !map:HashWithIndifferentAccess
  "2": "0"
  "3": "0"
  "4": "1"

which means there are three checkboxes, the last being checked - but my
talent always shows all 3 as checked (meaning its not updating the fact
that they are currently unchecked)

Any help?

doesn''t work either way
Here is the debug of params:

--- !map:HashWithIndifferentAccess
commit: Save
action: edit
talent: !map:HashWithIndifferentAccess
  title: Casting Director
id: "2"
talent_type: !map:HashWithIndifferentAccess
  talent_type_id: "1"
controller: talent
vital_stat: !map:HashWithIndifferentAccess
  "2": "0"
  "3": "0"
  "4": "1"


^ notice the vital stat ID''s, 0 = not set, 1 = set.
talent debug:

--- &id001 !ruby/object:Talent
attributes:
  title: Casting Director
  id: "2"
  talent_type_id: "1"
errors: !ruby/object:ActiveRecord::Errors
  base: *id001
  errors: {}

new_record_before_save:
talent_type: !ruby/object:TalentType
  attributes:
    title: Talent
    id: "1"
vital_stats:
- !ruby/object:VitalStat
  attributes:
    title: Hair Color
    id: "2"
- !ruby/object:VitalStat
  attributes:
    title: Eye Color
    id: "3"
- !ruby/object:VitalStat
  attributes:
    title: Height
    id: "4"

Still shows association with all vital stats.
