Ruby on Rails

Hi Bente,
Thanks for your reply.

The code you provided needed a minor tweak:

<% form.fields_for @employee.department do|department_fields| %>
was throwing an ActiveRecord::AssociationTypeMismatch -
Department(#77492292) expected, got HashWithIndifferentAccess(#37082688)

After a bit of googling I changed it to:
<% form.fields_for :department do|department_fields| %>

and everything worked fine.

Thank you once again.

P.S. In case it helps anyone else, this is described very well here:
