Rails - Jun 2006 - passing a value in a hidden field inside a form

should be trivial but I can''t figure this out from api

<%= hidden_field ''certifications'',
''personnel_id'', {value #{@personnel.id}} %>

I want to pass the value of ''id'' field in my form to the
certifications
controller as personnel_id

Not sure whether hidden_field is supposed to work like that, but your syntax
is *way* off.  Try this instead:

<%= hidden_field ''certifications'',
''personnel_id'', :value => @personnel.id
%>
