I have a strange situation. I want to have a create_user form w/ all the fields blank When I call the create_user method, the corresponding create_user.html.erb form is displaying the first record''s data from the user table in the form fields Here''s a quick view of my form: [code] <% form_tag(''create_user'') do -%> <%=hidden_field("user", "id") %> (<%=params[:id] %>) <p><label for="fname">First Name</label><br/> <%=text_field("user", "fname") %></p> <p><label for="lname">Last Name</label><br/> <%=text_field("user", "lname") %></p> <%=submit_tag("Create") %> <% end -%> [/code] When that form loads, it is populated w/ the First and last name from the first user record in the db. Anyway around this - I''ve tried everything I can think of.

form_tag does not tag a string as an argument. Could you show us your controller please? Also, it may help you if you read http://guides.rubyonrails.org/getting_started_with_rails.html first. ----- Ryan Bigg Freelancer http://frozenplague.net On 31/12/2008, at 12:30 PM, Clem Rock wrote:> > I have a strange situation.

Thanks for getting back to me on this. Here''s my controller method: def create_user if request.post? @user = User.new(params[:user]) if @user.save flash[:notice] = "User has been added." flash.keep redirect_to :controller => ''admin'', :action => ''list_users'', :id => @user.id, :page => params[:page] end end end Thanks again Ryan Bigg wrote:> form_tag does not tag a string as an argument. > > Could you show us your controller please? > > Also, it may help you if you read > http://guides.rubyonrails.org/getting_started_with_rails.html > first. > ----- > Ryan Bigg > Freelancer > http://frozenplague.net-- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.

Problem solved: all I had to do was to add Address.new in the controller.
