Rails - Jan 2008 - form_for and belongs_to

Let''s say I have a simple RESTful scaffold named: product

and the new and edit forms contain something like:

<% form_for( @product ) do |f| %>

<%= f.text_field :name  %>

<% end %>

Everything is cool and working.  Now, let''s say I want to use a
belongs_to in product.rb

class Product

  belongs_to :some_other_model,  blah, blah...

end

Is it possible to do something on the product form to reference
some_other_model and capture form field values??

I''m thinking something along the lines of:

<% form_for( @product ) do |f| %>

<%= f.text_field :some_other_model.other_name  %>

<% end %>

or whatever the syntax would be...

Thanks

you would wrap these in a fields_for block. ie

<% form_for( @product ) do |f| %>

<%= f.text_field :some_other_model.other_name  %>

<fieldset>
  <% fields_for :some_other_model do |o| %>
    <%= o.text_field o.other_name  %>
  <% end %>
</fieldset>
<% end %>
