[Rails] Re: Help With Dependent Drop-Down and @Params

[Brian Hughes '89]

OK. This is a case where you need to have a view for this controller,  
and in the view you place:

<pre><%= params.debug %></pre>

That will show you the makeup of the params object, so that you can  
figure out how you need to reference the object in the hash.

If the HTML being produced shows a form field with name="deal 
[utility]", that tells Rails to create a :deal hash, within the  
params hash, with one entry using :utility as it's key. Referencing  
params[:deal][:utility] should return the value of that entry...
