Nothing shows up under fields_for when referring to a valid association

Hi,

I have something like this:

    class Group < ActiveRecord::Base       has_many :members       accepts_nested_attributes_for :members     end

    class Member < ActiveRecord::Base       belongs_to :group     end

    -form_for @group do |form|       -form.fields_for :members do |member|         =member.text_field :display_name

and nothing shows up under "form.fields_for :members do |member|". In fact, if I put invalid code there, it's not even evaluated. However, if I specify an invalid assocation like "form.fields_for :memberszzzz do |member|", the text field for :display_name does show up.

Does anyone know what could be problem?

Thanks!

Ok, it turns out the problem was that I needed to specify attr_accessible :members_attributes in the model, and @group.members.build in the controller for it to work.
