Hi All,

I am trying to save my form data in to table. I am able to add the data  
successfully but it creates the 2 record for the single time of form  
submission.

Let me explain in detail. My flow is like following:

First the user fills the form. When it submits the form, create method  
will called and after completion of that it redirects to show page of  
created user.

In browser it works just like I said. But, in back-end(in log), it  
creates one record than redirects to the show page, than once again it  
hits the create def and insert the same data in to table and again  
redirects to show page.

I am using rails 2.3.5 and ruby 1.8.6

Any idea???

Your create method is getting called twice. A look at code would help in  
resolving the issue.
