<div style="">what's in the create method of the controller?? you've only given the contents of the new method - and without knowing what you want it to do it's hard to know what will work.<div><br></div><div>

Could it be possible that the issue is with the actual Ticket model itself?<br><br><div><span class="gmail_quote">On 8/17/07, <b class="gmail_sendername">David Chelimsky</b> <<a href="mailto:dchelimsky@gmail.com" target="_blank" onclick="return top.js.OpenExtLink(window,event,this)">
