When I try and access a cookie I have set instead of just returning
the value it returns this string:
login_username=email%40example.com; path
I am trying to access it from my view using this code:
<%= text_field_tag("login_username",
@cookies[''login_username'']) %>
Has anyone else had this problem? Does anyone know how I can just get
it to return the value?

So would I write: sellers.cookies[''login_username''] My controller is called sellers and the cookie I am trying to access is called login_username.

Another good approach would be to make the #cookies method a helper method by writing: helper_method :cookies on your controller class. This way you would just say: cookies[''login_username''] Hope that helps, Dema http://dema.ruby.com.br/
