I am editing a form it is taking the value but when i submit it  
it shows the message

def edit  
@classified = Classified.find(params[:id])  
end

def update  
@classified = Classified.find(params[:id])  
if @classified.update\_attributes(params[:classified])  
redirect\_to :action =\> ‘show’, :id =\> @classified  
else  
render :action =\> ‘edit’  
end  
end
