Rails - Jun 2005 - Second and subsequent relationship joins

I''ve been working on my submissions tracker (for manuscripts), and
I''m
pretty darn new to the rails stuff.

The way I got it working so far is as follows:

So far, when getting submissions to look up manuscripts and markets, 
it''s working fine. However, now that I want to highlight a table row 
based on a manuscript''s genre, now I''m getting errors I
don''t
understand.

 From submissions/list.rhtml :

<% @submissions.each do |@submission| %>
	<tr><td><%= link_to ''edit'', { :action =>
''edit'',  :market_id =>
@submission.market_id,  :manuscript_id => @submission.manuscript_id } 
%></td>
		<td bgcolor="#<%= @submission.manuscript.mssGenre.bgcolor
%>"><%=
@submission.manuscript.Name %></td>
		<td bgcolor><%= @submission.market.mkMarketName %></td>
		<td align="center"><%= @submission.dateSent
%></td>
	</tr>
<% end %>

Which is populated from this model method:
		def self.find_mss_out
	  		find(:all, :conditions => ''responseDate is null'',
:order =>
''dateSent DESC'', :include => [:manuscript, :market,
:editor_reply])
		end


The error I get is:
undefined method `bgcolor'' for "Science Fiction":String

Obviously, I need to include mss_genre somewhere (or somehow force it 
to be loaded). But where?

Since there''s always going to be some coloring based on genre, it 
wouldn''t be a bad thing to always load mss_genre when the manuscript 
record was loaded.

What I don''t know is what to do to fix my problem.

class Submission < ActiveRecord::Base
		belongs_to :market, :order => "mkMarketName"
		belongs_to :manuscript, :order => "name"
		belongs_to :editor_reply
...
end

class Manuscript < ActiveRecord::Base
	has_and_belongs_to_many :markets, :join_table =>
''submissions''
	belongs_to :mss_genre
end

class MssGenre < ActiveRecord::Base
	set_table_name "MssGenres"
	
	has_many :manuscript
end

(and so on, but the other tables aren''t relevant to my question)

My problem was trying to fight the anti-camelCapsing of rails. Note to 
self: don''t do that then.

Yeah,  that took me a while to shake,  ditto the table naming
standards.   But once you''ve adjusted you realise how petty you were
being ;)
