I am using the great simple captcha plugin for saving records like this

if @xxx.save\_with\_captcha  
do something  
else  
do something  
end

How do I use it when updating records?

if @xxx.update\_attributes(params[:blah])

can I just say

if @xxx.update\_with\_captcha(params[:blah])  
do something  
else  
do something  
end

Have you tried:

@xxx.attributes = params[:blah]

if @xxx.save\_with\_captcha  
do something  
else  
do something  
end
