My rhtml looks like this (extract)

 File \<%= file\_field(:document, 'file') %\> Description: \<%= text\_area(:document, 'description', {:rows=\>8, :cols=\>40}) %\> Category: \<%= select(:document, 'folder\_id', @folders) %\> 

Params shows up in log as follows:

Parameters: {“commit”=\>“Upload”, “action”=\>“create”,  
“document”=\>{“folder\_id”=\>“1”, “description”=\>“some doc”},  
“controller”=\>“documents”}

Where did the ‘file’ params vanish? How come document[description] and  
document[folder\_id] are picked up but not document[file]?
