Hi Joe,  
Could you be a little more specific and possibly post a code example or  
tell  
is in more detail what you’re trying to achieve?

Cheers,  
James

Title: \<%= text\_field 'article', 'title' %\>

Category: \<%= collection\_select(:article,:category\_id,@categories,:id,:name) %\>

Description  
\<%= text\_area 'article', 'description' %\>

-Tag : \<%= text\_field\_tag 'tag\_list' %\> \<%= submit\_tag "Create" %\> \<%= form\_tag %\>

this is second form:

\<% form\_for :article\_cover, :url =\> { :action =\> ‘create’, :id =\> @  
article.id }, :html =\> { :multipart =\> true } do |f| -%\>
