Rails - Jan 2006 - @params Hash Access

I am trying to load an ActiveRecord object from an ID within a hidden  
field in a submitted form. How do I do it?

I get this into the controller with the request:

   Parameters: {"action"=>"index",
"website"=>{"id"=>"7"},
"controller"=>"msa/setup"}

So, how do I load the Website object from ID 7?

     @website = Website.new(params[:website])
     @website.reload()

That fails, and this is a crappy way to do it anyway.

   Website.find(params[:website[:id]])

fails as well. How do I get to that ID?

Website.find(params[:website][:id])
