Hi all I''m a ruby beginner so I hope to get some help on this forum. I have seen that there are allready some posts on this subject, but I can''t seem to get them to work on my test project. To give some info. I have a table Contacts. This table contains some information on a person like name, address, etc. The table notas contains a simple id, an contact_id and a field for the nota itself. In my Nota model I say the following thing: belongs_to : contact In my Contact model I say: has_many :notas I have generated my new/edit contact form through the ruby script scaffold. Offcours it only contains all the contact fields. So I added the following: ........ <script> function addDiv(frm) { document.getElementById(''readroot'').style.display=''block'' var newFields = document.getElementById(''readroot'').cloneNode(true); document.getElementById(''readroot'').style.display=''none'' newFields.id = ''''; newFields.style.display = ''block''; var newField = newFields.childNodes; var insertHere = document.getElementById(''container''); insertHere.parentNode.insertBefore(newFields,insertHere); } </script> ...... if(@contact.notas) @contact.notas.each do |nota| %> <textarea cols="40" id="contact_nota" name="contact[nota]" rows="3" > <%= nota.nota %> </textarea> <br> <% end end %> <div id="readroot" style="display:none;"> <p><textarea cols="40" id="contact_nota" name="contact[nota]" rows="3" ></textarea></p> </div> <div id="container"></div> <input type="button" value="Add a note" onclick="addDiv();" /><br /><br /> .... For test reasons I allready added some notas in the DB with phpMyAdmin. And so far, so good, alle the notas for a certain contact are displayed. But when I add or edit them through the application, I get the following error: undefined method `nota='' for #<Contact:0x474d69c> This is probably due to the fact that the contact model doesn''t has any fields called nota. So I should tell RoR to add/edit those fields in the notas table (most likely in the update methode of the Contact controller). But as I said, I''m only a ruby beginner, and I would realy like to know how you can accomplish this in ruby on rails. The reason for this is that I have a similar tool (its bigger and has more functionality to it) written in PHP, but after reading up on ruby on rails I believe that ruby is the way to the futur. I have allready searched through some books on ruby (on rails) that I bought, but I can''t seem to find a familiar case study on it. So hopefully there is someone who can point me to the right direction.
