storing multiple of the same object from a request

[laredotornado]

Hi,

I have this form ...

<% for i in 1 .. 5 %>
<tr><td>
<table>
<tr>
<td><%= text_field("ec_line_item", "prescription_number",
"index" => i) %></td>
<td><%= text_field("ec_line_item", "description", "index"
=> i) %></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td align="center">Prescription Number</td>
<td align="center">Description</td>
</tr>
</table>
</td></tr>
<% end %>

Now on my controller end I would like to save the objects (each object
is of class "ec_line_item" with attributes "prescription_number" and
"description") but only if the prescription_number attribute is not
empty. What's the most efficient way of doing this?

Thanks, - Dave

First, this is really a question for the rails group.

That said, you should check out Ryan Bates series of 3 RailsCasts starting with:
