Rails - Jan 2008 - implementing password confirmation

Hi,

I''m using the latest version of RoR.  I''m having a problem
with
passwords and password confirmations.  I have a db table and
corresponding model -- customer with a password field (but no password
confirmation field in the table).  Here is the simple customer model
code:

class Customer < ActiveRecord::Base
        belongs_to :subscriber

        validates_confirmation_of :password
end

Here is part of the view where I''m asking for a password and password
confirmation:

<p><label
for="customer_password">Password</label><br/>
<%= password_field ''customer'', ''password''
%></p>

<p><label for="customer_password">Confirm
Password</label><br/>
<%= password_field ''password_confirmation'',
''''  %></p>

However, even if the passwords don''t match, the script allows me to
submit and save the customer.  What is missing from the above?

Thanks, - Dave

The second password_field looks bogus, check out the example at:

Thanks, but I guess because of my beginner-ness, I''m still confused.
What should the second password_field look like in order to not be
bogus?  The link you sent doesn''t have an example of what it should
look like on the view end.
