...checking whether a number answer is actually a number would suddenly come down to the controller, not the model. Unless of course I use different tables for different types of answer (so different models), or there is some sort of OOo foo with the model that can distinguish and have different validates_something tests. It seems that suddenly the application is not only a data-bound input/output site, and I''m stuck :) David -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.
