Shyam, local variables are not accessing within the view. Thus, you’ll  
need  
to change

charges = Charge.find(:all,:conditions =\>“company\_id =#{comp\_id}”)

to

@charges = Charge.find(:all,:conditions =\> [ “company\_id = ?” , comp\_id  
] )

Next, I would recommend reading “Agile Web D. with Rails 3rd”  
as well

as the [guides.rubyonrails.org](http://guides.rubyonrails.org).

Good luck,

I think in the cherry-picking of code to put into pastie, an “each”  
line was missed out around here:  
\<% charges = params[:charges]  
if charges %\>  
\<%=h charge.name %\>

But the upshot is; if you are populating “charges” from the params  
hash, what is in params? I’d put money on params[:charges] returning  
an array of integers that are ids of charges (hence getting “undefined  
method `name’ for “41”:String” as the error). If you want “charges” to  
be a collection of Charge objects that match the ids in  
params[:charges] - get that all sorted in the controller.

You have

\<%=h charge.name %\>

Where is the variable called charge setup?

You might like to have a look at rails guide on debugging, it will  
show you several ways of analysing this sort of issue when you cannot  
see the problem by code inspection. [http://guides.rubyonrails.org/](http://guides.rubyonrails.org/)  
Look particularly at the use of ruby-debug.
