Rails - Jun 2006 - start_form_tag question..

i am trying to get a start_form_tag working, but i am shooting blanks..

here''s what i am trying to do..

i have a controller called "forms.." with an action
"new_entry"..

it is called by:

localhost/forms/new_entry

this is just a quick form to test another action..

that action is:

localhost/logger

my question is, how do i construct start form tag in order to access the 
logger?

ie..

<%= start_form_tag :action->''What do i put here?''%>

i have tried putting:

:logger
/logger
''/logger''
''logger''

and whatever else i could think of, but i am not hitting it..

any ideas?

thanks!

If i understood you right. You have a controller named 
logger_controller.rb in your app/controllers folder. If that''s the
case:

<%= start_form_tag :controller => ''logger'',
:action->''whatever the name
of the action in logger is'' %>

if logger is an action in your form_controller.rb then:

<%= start_form_tag :action->''logger''%>

should do it.
