I have a user object and an account object. User has one account  
object. In the signup.rhtml I have a radio button that has three  
options for the membership (yearly, monthly and sample). How do I  
populate the account model when the user submits the form?  
Is the following syntax correct?

\<%= radio\_button(“user[account]”, “membership”, “Yearly”) %\>  
Yearly  
  
\<%= radio\_button(“user[account]”, “membership”, “Monthly”) %\>  
Monthly  
  
\<%= radio\_button(“user[account]”, “membership”, “Sample”) %\>  
Sample

TIA
