Rails - Feb 2006 - Problem with flash[:notice] appearing twice

In my save function in my (ajax!!!) controller, i''ve got a bit like 
this:

if ...
    flash[:notice] = ''NOT SAVED: This month is locked''
    render :partial => ''edit''
else
    save it...
    redirect to ''show'' action....
...

If i try to save an entry for a locked month, it correctly brings me 
back to
my edit action with the ''not saved'' message correctly showing.
But if i
then go to another page, the ''not saved'' message still shows!
But then
if i refresh, it disappears.

It seems the flash notice sticks around one too many page views. Any 
Ideas?

Bingo - sorted it myself!

Put this in the application controller:

  before_filter :remove_flash_notice

  private
  def remove_flash_notice
    #flash[:notice] = ''''
    true
  end


Isn''t this a bit of an oversight, though? Or am i missing something?

Yes, you are missing the fact that you should use

flash[:something] = value

only if you intend to redirect_to another action. Otherwise you''re
better of using

flash.now[:something] = value
