Rails - Jul 2005 - Any way to specify different controller in start_form_tag?

I''m trying to place a login form as a part of my layout that will
appear at
the top right corner of the screen if the user is not logged in. This form 
needs to specify a controller, since it could be called from a number of 
different controllers. Is there any easy way to do this? start_form_tag does 
not seem to accept a :controller setting.

Thanks,

Carl

Yes it does.  Check out the ref for start_form_tag/form_tag.  Takes
the same options as url_for.  I would guess that you''re just not
specifying them correctly.

start_form_tag({ :action => "action", :controller =>
"controller"}, {
options... })

You''ve probably just got start_form_tag(:controller =>
"controller"),
which won''t work.  Have to throw it in {}
