Rails - Jul 2008 - newbie REST confusion

So I am trying to do the simple action of updating user
information(the model is named spec) that may not exist in the first
place.  Meaning I have one view for both new and update. I think
theres something wrong with my variables or something, not sure...but
here is my code:

in the spec controller:
  def edit
    @title = ''Edit User Information''
    @user = logged_in_user
    @user.spec ||= Spec.new
    @spec = @user.spec
  end

  def update
    if @user.spec.update_attributes(params[:spec])
      flash[:notice] = "Specs updated"
      redirect_to user_path(logged_in_user)
    end
  end

this is the edit view:
<% form_for :spec, :url => spec_url,
            :html => { :method => :put }  do |form| %>
  <fieldset>
    <legend><%= @title %></legend>

     <%= error_messages_for ''spec'' %>
     <%= text_field_for form, "first_name" %>
     <%= submit_tag ''Create'', :class =>
"submit"  %>
  </fieldset>
<% end %>

This is really confusing, but I dont think its a complicated problem.
thanks.

Try changing that to: form.text_field "first_name"
