complex forms in a simpler way?

I have a form which updates across several models, and most of the time what is covered is close to the railscast example (complex forms), for adding photos etc, but i have another example trying to use the field_for for a seemingly one to one relationship...

ie My form has a bunch of fields in one model, but two fields for price both high and low in a second model. There can only be one price or high and low added per form, but it is not a one to one relationship because the price can change over time which is added externally.

How can I do this?

Thanks,

Model:

class Price < ActiveRecord::Base   has_many :records   has_many :bubbles

Controller:

    @price = Price.new     @price.bubbles.build

View: <% form_for @price do |f| %>   <%= f.error_messages %>

  <p>     <%= f.label :artist %><br />     <%= text_field_with_auto_complete :price, :artist, :autocomplete => "off", :size => "30" %>   </p>..... .....

    <% for bubble in @price.bubbles %>     <% fields_for "price[bubble]", bubble do |e| %>         <p>         <%= e.label :price %><br />           <%= e.text_field :low, :size => "4" %>-<%= e.text_field :high, :size => "4" %>         </p>       <% end %>   <% end %>

Nevermind just did it thru the controller:

def new     @price = Price.new     @bubble = Bubble.new ...

def create     @price = Price.new(params[:price])     @bubble = @price.bubbles.build(params[:bubble]) ...

view:     <% fields_for :bubble do |e| %>         <p>         <%= e.label :price %> $(10-25)<br />           $<%= e.text_field :low, :size => "4" %>-<%= e.text_field :high, :size => "4" %>         </p>       <% end %>
