I have a form that has an inline contact creation form to create a  
contact that will be associated to the form. How do I make it so when  
the from is submitted I can associate the contact to the form without  
doing a build? This will create a new contact and will create the  
relationship but then I will have two contacts one with a relation and  
one without.

No, I have to run 2.1.0 due to fcgi on windows.

Actually yes I have seen quite a bit on rails 2.3 but unable to use due  
to  
FCGI not working with the extra stack.
