The docs state:
form_tag(url_for_options = {}, options = {},
*parameters_for_url)
So I thought this would work:
<%= form_tag {:controller=>''member'',:action =>
''validate_login''} %>
But that gives this error:
compile error
./app/views/member/login.rhtml:2: syntax error
_erbout.concat(( form_tag
{:controller=>''member'',:action =>
''validate_login''}
).to_s); _erbout.concat "\r\n"
^
./app/views/member/login.rhtml:2: syntax error
_erbout.concat(( form_tag
{:controller=>''member'',:action =>
''validate_login''}
).to_s); _erbout.concat "\r\n"
However, both of these work:
<%= form_tag ({:controller=>''member'',:action =>
''validate_login''}) %>
<%= form_tag :controller=>''member'',:action =>
''validate_login'' %>
I''m confused - the docs lead me to think that the
url_for_options need to be in a hash, lest they get
confused with the other params.
