Rails - Jul 2009 - Nested Forms - how to displayed the attributes content ?

I have a User model

class User < ActiveRecord::Base
 has_one :account
  accepts_nested_attributes_for :account, :allow_destroy => true
  validates_associated :account
  attr_accessible :account_attributes

 is working fine, validating and updating both records (User and
Account), but I caanot display the value in the form when is updated,
ex:  below  the firstname is not displayed but it''s in the db account
record
#<User id: 1, email:
"yves-oHC15RC7JGRl57MIdRCFDg@public.gmane.org", ..
#<Account id: 4, user_id: 1, title: 0, first_name: "Yves", ...

my view
...
		<% form_for :user, :url => { :action => "update" }  do
|user_form|
%>
		  <% user_form.fields_for :account_attributes do |account_fields| %>

		    <li>
				<label for="user_firstname">First Name</label>
				<%= account_fields.text_field :first_name, :size => "30" 
%>
			</li>
.....

what am I missing ?

thanks for your help

Discover the issue :   I had to write correctly my form_for

	<% form_for :user, @user, ...

and not 	<% form_for :user

Oops

WRONG  need to be :

form_for :user, @user, :url => { :action => "update" }  do
|user_form|
