Rails - Jan 2006 - fiile_column persistent across different forms

is there a way to keep the file_column field in the form persistent
across diffferent view templates ?

In my controller (same controller for both views) i do

@post = Post.new

in the view i do

form_step1.rhtml
---------------------
<%= file_column_field "post", "image" %>
 <% if @post["image"] %>
  <%= image_tag url_for_file_column("post", "image")
%>
 <% end %>

form_step2.rhtml
----------------
  <% if @post["image"] %>
                  <%= image_tag url_for_file_column("post",
"image") %>
                  <br><br
    <% end %>

and in my model i do

file_column :image, :magick => { :geometry => "320x240" }
validates_file_format_of :image, :in => ["image/jpeg"]
validates_filesize_of :image, :in => 0.kilobytes..50.kilobytes

does anybody see what I am missing here ?

thanks
adam

hmm now i get "Rails Application Failed to Start Properly.."  very
wierd behavior.
