Prashant, please look at the documentation regarding created_on and
updated_on. There’ is no need to use a hidden field for thuis as rails
will automatically update certion fields for you.
See, for example,
http://wiki.rubyonrails.org/rails/pages/MagicFieldNames
As regards the hidden field, a quick google for “ruby on rails
hiden_field documentation” returned this:
http://railsmanual.org/module/ActionView%3A%3AHelpers%3A%3AFormHelper#hidden_field
It looks like you’re attempting to specify the data type (:datetime) in
the value field. Is that correct ?
