Hi there Implementing my first "update" procedure worked fine. I took this as a template for a "create" procedure, but that does not work as expected: when I enter invalid data, the validation stops me from saving the data, that''s working, but all fields are cleared! Furthermore, also the data is not saved, no error message is dislayed. Advice is more then welcome! ### Controller Code: def create_client case request.method when :get @client = Client.new when :post client = Client.new(params[:client]) if client.save true flash[:notice] = "Client successfully added" redirect_to({:controller => ''client'', :action => ''overview''}, true) else flash[:errobj] = ''client'' end end end ### Layout Code <% if flash[:errobj] -%> <%= error_messages_for flash[:errobj] -%> <% end %> --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.

Okay, I am an idiot. But there is still hope because I found out myself. Instead of client = Client.new(params[:client]) I should have said @client = Client.new(params[:client]) ............

Flash messages survive a request, like a redirect, but are not available in the current request. Since you just render the same template on invalid models, use flash.now[:errobj], or @errobj. -- Rick Olson http://lighthouseapp.com http://weblog.techno-weenie.net http://mephistoblog.com --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.
