Rails - Aug 2010 - Why isn't data being saved to the database?

I''m following an example in the "Head First Rails" book.

Now, when I "create" a record, and then go to the table, I find that a
BLANK record is created also I enter field values.

What may I be missing?

This is how "advs_controller.rb" looks like:

class AdvsController < ApplicationController
  def show
  @adv = Adv.find(params[:id])
  end

  def index
  @advs = Adv.find(:all)
  end

  def new
  @adv = Adv.new(params[:ad])
  end

  def create
  @adv = Adv.new(params[:ad])
  @adv.save
  end
end

Thanks.

I don''t know your view''s code, but looking at your
controller''s code...
maybe instead of params[:ad] you should use params[:adv] "maybe"
I''m just
guessing. you should send your view''s code

Thanks a lot Sergio. You are correct. It should have been:

@adv = Adv.save(params[:adv])
