I had posted earlier about ''silent failure of a controller'', what seemed to be an intractable problem where I was getting failure of a particular action in a controller while others worked.

The helper function never even seems to be called. <%= select_tag "unit",

Hi I have been successful in playing around with model, views and controllers in Rails. Along the way, I learnt that some of the reusable stuff could be made library classes.
