Rails - Jul 2006 - Form entries with decimals generating float errors

I have "time estimated" and a "time spent" fields in my task
form. In my
tasks table I have the "time_estimated" and "time_spent"
rows assigned
as float types. I''ve also tried setting them to decimal (4,2) with no 
luck.

When I submit the form the error reads "NoMethodError in 
TasksController#create" then "Undefined method `size'' for
1.5:Float".
The 1.5 is what I entered as a test in a form field declared with <%= 
text_field ''task'', ''hours_estimated'', :size
=> 7  %>

Can anyone point me in the right direction?

Thanks,
DAN

I think I''m just gonna use varchar for now and then to_f in my list and
show views. At least validates_numericality_of doesn''t complain.

Not sure how else to handle non-currency decimal entries.
