I am completely new to Ruby and Rails.

I have had a few problems getting through the tutorial so far (rolling back from InstantRails 2.0 to 1.7 solved most of my issues).

Currently I am on page two where we are adding the line @recipe.date = Time.now.

Even after making thos changes and restarting mongrel, I cannot get the date option to go away.

The category selection option changes work flawlessly, but I can't make the date selection go away as described in your article. I made the edits and that did not work, so I also tried copying and pasting the entire file as it was posted below for someone else's end statement issue.

This newbie would greatly appreciate somehelp!
