search for: acteurs_films

Hello, I am quite new to Rails and i was wondering if i could get some help to populate a join table? I got (for example) a table called films, a table called acteurs and a join table called acteurs_films. I have specified the HABTM relationship and I manage to do it through the console by doing: acteur=Acteur.new acteur.name="blabla" acteur.films << film acteur.save and it works! That''s great but when i go back to coding i don''t really understand how to do it...
