From: Matthew D Moss Date: 2005-09-12T08:31:31+09:00 Subject: Re: Misunderstanding of instance variables I think I understand... self.content_type is an accessor, I'm guessing, defined by ActiveRecord based on my table. So self.content_type is a method, and @content_type is invalid. (Or at least doesn't do what I expect.) Does that seem right? Or am I missing something else? Thanks...
