I have a form. Everything submits into the database if I don''t have any validation rules. When I put these rules: validates_uniqueness_of :title, :message => "already exists in database" validates_presence_of :title I get this error (which seems weird because I am not validating against that): You have a nil object when you didn''t expect it! You

Is there a way to access (from JavaScript preferably) the form array of the information sent when errors are display?

I am having issues with a many-to-many table. The table relates resources to standards, but in my resources table has one-to-many relationships so those also appear in my many-to-many table. I am trying to insert into the table via: @resource.core_contents << CoreContent.find(params[:core_content_ids]) But I get this error: Mysql::Error: Duplicate entry

Would I use a helper for this situation? I have a layout that is used over two controllers (admin and login). Each controller has their own navigation. Can I do something like this? <%= getNavigation("admin") %> or <%= getNavigation("login") %> And return the navigation list depending on the string sent? Seth Buntin -------------- next part

I am using the ACL System that is described on the Rails wiki and I have a quick question. I want to set the "role" as a session variable so that I can display certain navigation schemes and I was doing it like this: @session[:user][:role] = @user.roles When I print out this variable I get: #<Role:0x3262d80> How can I turn this into a readable value?

This is simple (I am sure) but how do you get the id of the inserted element after the element has been save? I thought it was something like this: @product = Product.new(params[:product] if @product.save add_image(product.id, params["image"]) flash[:notice] = ''Product was successfully created.'' redirect_to :action => ''list_products'' end

I have some code that calls a partial to display one or more blocks within a div tag. I want to have a close button (or cancel link) that will fade that block but leave the others.

I have a database field called file_type. I want to compare it against an array of types to either display it as an image or just create a link to it. I am sure there is an easy way to do this but I can''t think of it. I don''t want to do this: <% if resource.file_type == ".png" OR resource.file_type == ".jpg" ... %> I would like to do: <% if
