Hi, I was wondering about a quite strange behaviour in RoR:
I overwrote the default accessors for the "duration" field of my ActiveRecord class "Task" to do some conversion. In my View in the rhtml file, I tried to use: <%= text_field 'task', 'duration' %>
When writing the duration, it correctly uses my duration= method, but when reading the duration for displaying it in the textfield, it somehow bypasses my overwritten duration method.
However, when i use the following code, it works for writing _and_ reading: <%= text_field_tag 'task[duration]', @blocking.duration %>
That behaviour seems quite strange to me, does anyone have an explanation? Thanks, Erik.
