Sandip,

Are you certain all of the ids are valid?

You could try adding something like this to your controller action  
before the destroy is called:

def destroy  
@records = Model.all( :conditions =\> [“id IN (?)”, array])  
raise “Not all ids were valid!” unless @records.size == array.size  
Model.destroy(array)  
…  
end

This will raise an error if the ids are not all valid and you’ll know  
to look elsewhere for the root of the problem

Hope that helps?

Gavin

Sorry, my mistake !

Actually IE brawser was submitting request twice to delete action.  
hence…in second request it was showing record not found exception.
