Rails - Jul 2005 - hide 'id' field in 'edit' view again (after HowToExtendScaffolding)?

Hello,

After following the instructions on
http://wiki.rubyonrails.com/rails/show/HowToExtendScaffolding there appears
an ''id'' edit field on my edit webpaqes. Since this is the
primary key of the
table, I really don''t want a user to be able to edit it :)

I''m not sure how to procede on this, I assume this is because of some
of the
extension of the ActionView::Helpers.
Does anyone know how to fix this?

Not what you want to hear but; then don''t use scaffolding!

Scaffolding is really just a way of kickstarting your crud ui, and
it''s most certainly meant to be customized. This is one of the cases
where you''d want to customize it.

You can run ./script/generate scaffold if you want a quickstart on the
html, or it''s just a matter of getting down to it and write some
proper html+erb.

Does ./script/generate scaffold work with those extensions?  I got the 
impression from the page that it was only for the :scaffold form of 
usage.
