my phones table is containing a contact_id field ...
(phone model)
belongs_to :contact
(contact model)
has_many :phones
validates_associated :phones
in my contact creation form i added that field:
<% text_field ''phone'', ''number'' %>
and in the create action of the contact controller looks like this
def create
@contact = Contact.new(params[:contact])
@phone = @contact.phones.create
@phone.attributes = params[:phone]
if @contact.save
flash[:notice] = ''Contact was successfully created.''
redirect_to :action => ''list''
else
render :action => ''new''
end
end
and it works great....it even highlight the phone number in case of
validation fails because of the validates_associated inside the phone
model...
my problem?
How can i add multiple phones????
i tried:
<% text_field ''phone'', ''number'' , :index
=> 1 %>
<% text_field ''phone'', ''number'' , :index
=> 2 %>
etc...
that gave me that error:
undefined method `1='' for #<Phone:0x221b968>
WHAT CAN I DO ????
HELP?????????
I don''t have the answer you are looking for, but wondering if you used an ajax form for this? I believe we talked about this last week. I was looking for a way to use Ajax to check to see if the password is long enough (for example) and if not use the highlight effect to highlight the message. But if so, redirect to a success page.

My current thinking is to code up some Javascript that will add the additional form elements to the page. Easy enough but the problem will be dealing with them in the controller. Again: not the answer you''re looking for but I''d be very interested in any pointers anyone can provide. I''m assuming with your model if the phone number does not exist in the phone table then you''ll add it in the contacts controller when the form is submitted rather than throw an exception. <snip> F.
i tried that way....i made an ajax form to add textfield on the fly....but in case of validation error the problem remains: the corresponding textfield (ajax created or not) is not highlighted..... in a contact view <% text_field ''phone'', ''number'' %> just allows to define one phone....HOW CAN I DEFINE MORE?
