I''m confused at the following problem: I''m trying to use a link_to to call a controller/view from itself. Basically, history_console.rhtml calls its controller in the link_to, and based on the value of the select_id it will display different things. But with the following code, history_console.rhtml will get a select_id, but not a specific value of 1 (so if in the controller I say @select_id = 1 it works). So it cannot differentiate what to display. This code is in history_console.rhtml: <%= link_to ''Client'', :action => ''history_console'', :select_id => 1 %> This is in the relevant controller: def history_console if(params[:select_id]) @select_id = (params[:select_id]) @clients = Client.find(:all) end end And this is (again) in history_consle.rhtml <% if @select_id == 1 %> <%= render_partial ''clientselect'' %> <% end %> And the URL appears with history_console?select_id=1 The problem is that the value of select_id in the controller is not 1, and I don''t know why or what it really is. What am I missing? How do I handle variables in this fashion? Thanks!

Your select_id is probably being passed as a string and you are comparing it to an integer. That is probably causing your test to fail. Try changing all the 1''s to "1"''s and test it again. -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.
I ran into a similar problem yesterday. This happens when you have form fields coming in as strings, and you want to compare them as integers as well. In this case I went with something like this: if params[:some_field].to_i == 2 then ... end You might want to try that as well.

Man, I was up until 5am coding
Hey, does anyone know how to pass extra paramaters in a link_to - I
can''t seem to get the syntax right:
This does NOT work:
<div id="header">
<ul id="primary">
<li>
<%= link_to ''General'',{:action =>
"new_project",:id =>
@project},{:class => "current"},{:foo => "bar"}%>
</ul>
</div>
But It shows what I am trying to do
It seem it should according to RoR API
