hi

I have problem to check the validation of the image field  
my form

\<%= form\_tag({:action=\>‘upload’, :id =\> @property.id }, :multipart =\>  
true )%\>  
\<%= file\_field ‘image’,‘name’ %\>  
  
\<%= text\_area ‘image’, ‘description’, “cols” =\> 30,“rows” =\> 6  
%\>Description  
  
\<%= submit\_tag “send” %\>  
\<%= end\_form\_tag %\>

image.rb  
validates\_presence\_of :name, :description

controller  
@image = Image.new(params[:image])

if !@image.valid?  
error = true  
end

if error  
flash[:error] = “some fields are empty”  
render :action =\>“view”  
else  
bleble ble  
end

tchecking the descriptoin is ok but not the name if the image because  
the @image.name keep a hash ‘#’ inside and its not empty

ho to do that
