Rails - Apr 2006 - beginner - default form values

I want to build a simple calculator with 1 form and a results page.
The form will be redisplayed with an error message upon an invalid value 
entered.
I won''t be using  any database/active record for this.

The problem i have is when i return to the form page i want to redisplay 
the values already entered in the form fields.
Should i use text_field (which seems to be tied to a model) or 
text_field_tag and how do i pass these values submitted back to the form 
again from my controller.

any help would be appreciated.
cheers, simon.

the options for text_field_tag are 
name, value, html_options

so 

text_field_tag ''my_text_field'', :value =>
field_value_variable
