Hi guys, I''m new to ruby on rails and am realy quite having a problem with passing values. I created a test folder and have 3 files: 1. Main.rhtml <%= render_component(:controller => "test", :action => "pass") %> 2. Pass.rhtml <%=@test%> <%=flash[:notice]%> 3. Controller.rb class TestController < ApplicationController def pass @test = "<a href=\"main?name=123\">Testing!</a>" @passed = params[:name] #flash[:notice] = ''456'' flash[:notice] = @passed end end Well, as much as I get the url properly to simulate the passing of variables: www.mysite.com/test/main to www.mysite.com/test/main?name=123 I can''t seem to get the value of name rendered to my page which is suppose to be 123. Would really appreciate your help! Thanks in advance! sombrero -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.
