I am fairly new to RoR and that is why I was so happy with your snipplet, but there seems to be a problem with this code when the value that is checked isn't actually present. I have an Item object with a price and I check the price with validates_presence_of :price before I do this function. Unfortunattely this function is called no matter what. How can I fix this?
