Hello Experts, I have a HABTM association as followed:

class Account < ActiveRecord::Base   has_and_belongs_to_many :user end

class User < ActiveRecord::Base   has_and_belongs_to_many :type   has_and_belongs_to_many :account end

class Type < ActiveRecord::Base   has_and_belongs_to_many :user end

I have the following query; I Have a parent user who is creating another user under its account. How can i add association record between the new user (that is getting added) and the parent user's account. my form is as followed:

  <div class="field">     <%= f.label :username %><br />     <%= f.text_field :username %>   </div>   <div class="field">     <%= f.label :email %><br />     <%= f.text_field :email %>   </div>   <div class="field">     <%= f.label :password %><br />     <%= f.password_field :password %>   </div>   <div class="field">     <%= f.label :password_confirmation %><br />     <%= f.password_field :password_confirmation %>   </div>

   <% for type in Type.find(:all) %>     <div>       <%= check_box_tag "user[type_ids]", type.id, @user.type.include?(type) %>       <%= type.type_name %>     </div>   <% end %>

  <div class="actions">     <%= f.submit %>   </div>

Thanks in advance for any guidelines.
