I''ve looked through the docs and the wiki and can''t figure out how to go about generating select options and the update function for an item that has a HABTM relationship.

Finally getting around to upgrading our application to Rails 1.1.2. Of course, nothing runs correctly after the upgrade. So far two major problems, perhaps related. Any help would be greatly appreciated. 1. We''re getting const_missing errors. Specifically when trying to use class constants in a custom helper method, being called from a layout template. The class constants were for

Maybe I''m not getting fixtures, but... I''m having problems as I start using fixtures in functional tests. Data is left in my test database after running functional tests. Not the data created by the test-method (I''m using transactional fixtures), but data from the fixtures themselves. Fixture loading will delete & reload the data again when the test is re-run, but
