Hi Everybody,

I have a simple form whose input I am trying to validate in the controller.
However, this if clause is not getting called at all... Is this a correct
way to do it?

Please help.


*In Controller (action is getting called and code in else gets executed)->*

begin
if (params[:fltAvailable].blank? || params[:user].blank?
         params[:user]["lastname"].blank? || params[:user][:email].blank? ||
         params[:user][:firstname].blank? ||
params[:fltAvailable][:from_airport].blank? ||
         params[:fltAvailable][:from_time].blank? ||
params[:fltAvailable][:num_seats].blank? ||
         params[:fltAvailable][:flight_type].blank? || *
params[:fltAvailable][:mfr_name].blank?*)
      raise "error due to ..........."
else
  ..
..
..
end


*From log file (mfr_name is empty):*
