Subject: RE: Something new undefined method

got that to work when its a read only assignment

but im still getting undefined method `projectName' for #<Project:0x25df690>
(NameError) even after commenting out all code

as in 

def projectName=(val)
		#@data['prj_name'] = val if val
		#return @data.nil? ? nil : @data['prj_name']
end

and my here document is:

<tr><td>Name</td><td><input type="text" name="code"
value="#{self.projectName}"></td></tr>

Cheers

It's a runtime error (the most common one I see).
Apparently @data has the value nil when you
try to apply [] to it...
