I''m sure this is an easy question to answer but here is what I am trying to do: I am using this method: @newsletters = Newsletter.find(:all, :order => ''name'') collection_select(:newsletter, :id, @newsletters, :id, :name) I can''t seem to get the id out of the :newsletter param. When i see the post in the logs it has Parameters: {"commit"=>"Create", "action"=>"create", "campaign"=>{"name"=>"test"}, "controller"=>"admin/campaign", "newsletter"=>{"name"=>"2"}} how do i get the 2 out of the newsletter param? a little background: Its an email campaign app where there is a table with "newsletters" (name, url, etc) and another table "campaigns" which refererences (belongs_to) the newsletters table. A campaign can only reference one newsletter but, additional campaigns can reference the same newsletter. thanks -- Steven Ross web application & interface developer http://www.zerium.com [phone] 404-488-4364 _______________________________________________ Rails mailing list Rails-1W37MKcQCpIf0INCOvqR/iCwEArCW2h5@public.gmane.org http://lists.rubyonrails.org/mailman/listinfo/rails
