The Category_id in the recipes table is not getting updated. I even copied the source code and the result is the same.. Due to this my list.rhtml throws an error. thanks Umesh

  If you are running on Windows, you could try using Instant Rails (http://instantrails.rubyforge.org/). It contains the cookbook app as a preinstalled sample application, which should just work out-of-the-box.
  
  Once you have something working, then you can compare against what's not working.

  I experienced "update not working" and traced
  it to the case of the "name" attribute on the
  input tags in edit.rhtml.
  
  That is, I finally made it work by changing
  recipe[category_id] to Recipe[category_id].
  I gather that the posted "name" attribute
  is used as the model name, which is capitalized
  in the command "ruby script\generate model Recipe"
  
  Just reporting empirical results!

  I posted too soon; I gathered wrong.
  The real problem was that I used
  "scaffold :Recipe" in the controller,
  instead of "scaffold :recipe", as
  the article prescribed.
