A couple questions about file_field elements. First, with code such as this: <%= file_field ''attachments'', ''filename'' %> Would the filename of the file I select be the value that''s stored within the database under the "filename" column, and then I would just add in code in my "create" controller to upload the actual file?

Hi, The documentation doesn''t make it clear why both file_field and file_field_tag are both useful. What is the reason for having two instead of just one of these? Thanks, Peter

Hi! Im developing a simple prototype of an application. It fills an oracle db with data about a file in the filesystem, and save the entire file in a blob along with some metadata. To get the file in the db i use a file_field form helper. All goes well with the radrails-integrated browser, but it doesnt work anymore in firefox. The problem is, firefox seems to cut the pathname from the file. Here

Hi all, I have a really really annoying problem that''s driving me nuts with file_field and paperclip and having to upload images everytime a form is edited even though the user is quite happy with the currently uploaded image or loose the previously uploaded image.

When I do file_field within a form_for things are fine... but within a form_remote_for, with nothing else changed, I find that the params does not even have the element document[uploaded_file] even though it is definitely present in the HTML source in the form.
