Hello all, As much as I hate saying this, I would like to maintain 2 copies of some data, one copy in the form of a table in a database, and one in the form of an Excel spreadsheet. Unfortunately, either or both copies may be modified, so I need some way to synchronize the two, much the same way as a contacts database might be synchronized between a PDA and a desktop application. I am curious to

Hello all, I have a model, say it''s called Person, which has_many Responsibilities. I would like the "show" view for the person controller to list all of the responsibilities for that person.

I know the scaffold generator is really only useful for beginners and/or very the preliminary state of a project, but I find that I use it a lot (especially, since I am still a beginner). There are a couple of things I find myself tweaking (or wanting to tweak, but never getting around to tweaking) each time I generate a new scaffold: 1) Change the layout from blah.html.erb to

... ok, I may be going about this the wrong way, or perhaps, a less efficient way than is optimal, but I would like to test a little bit of AJAX on one of my web pages. When I test this by hand, I bring up the page which shows a select box, I select an item from the drop down list, see another select box show up, go back to the first select box, select a different item, and see something

I have the following: @lot = Lot.find(params[:id]) part_nums = Part.all(:conditions => ["id <> ?", @lot.part.id]) I guess I should mention that Lot :belongs_to => :part I was looking at the log following the execution of these two statements and I saw something like this: Lot Load (0.4ms) SELECT * FROM "lots" WHERE ("lots"."id" = 13) Part
