Rails - Feb 2008 - how to use form to update the model stored in the session

hello:
  I am building a shopping_cart.Before the user proceed to check out,i
want the user to be able to modify the quantity for any cart_item,so
there is a quantity update function which is a rails form in the cart
page.
1. cart information are kept in the session,cart are made of some
cart_items,every cart_item has title,price,quantity...attributes.
2. cart_item is not stored in the database,but there is cart_item
model,every cart_item object are made from the product object which has
corresponding model and table in the database.
   My problem: when i use form to update the quantity attributes for
some cart_item,the corresponding method can not output the expected
result, the quantity does not changed.Who can help me?The following are
my codes:
<%=form_tag(:action=>"quantity_update",:id=>cart_item)-%>
     <%=text_field :cart_item,:quantity,"size" => 10 -%>
     <%=submit_tag "recalculate"%>
   <%=end_form_tag-%>
def quantity_update
    @cart=find_cart
    #items is an array storing the cart_items
    modified_item=@cart.items.find{|i|i==params[:id]}
    if modified_item
     index=@cart.items.index(modified_item)
     modified_item.quantity=params[:cart_item][:quantity]
     @cart.items[index]=modified_item
     return @cart
    end
  end
private
 def find_cart
   session[:cart]||=Cart.new
 end

Could it be that in

  modified_item=@cart.items.find{|i|i==params[:id]}

the i is an integer, whereas params[:id] is a string.

A simple guess.
