implementing password confirmation

rubyonrails-talk

Hi,

I'm using the latest version of RoR. I'm having a problem with passwords and password confirmations. I have a db table and corresponding model -- customer with a password field (but no password confirmation field in the table). Here is the simple customer model code:

class Customer < ActiveRecord::Base         belongs_to :subscriber

        validates_confirmation_of :password end

Here is part of the view where I'm asking for a password and password confirmation:

<p><label for="customer_password">Password</label><br/> <%= password_field 'customer', 'password' %></p>

<p><label for="customer_password">Confirm Password</label><br/> <%= password_field 'password_confirmation', '' %></p>

However, even if the passwords don't match, the script allows me to submit and save the customer. What is missing from the above?

Thanks, - Dave

<p><label for="customer_password">Password</label><br/> <%= password_field 'customer', 'password' %></p>

<p><label for="customer_password">Confirm Password</label><br/> <%= password_field 'password_confirmation', '' %></p>

The second password_field looks bogus, check out the example at:

Thanks, but I guess because of my beginner-ness, I'm still confused. What should the second password_field look like in order to not be bogus? The link you sent doesn't have an example of what it should look like on the view end.
