Rails - Jul 2006 - Routes not working when submitting a form

Hi,

I have the following code, a very basic textfield with a submit button:

<%= form_tag({:controller => "job", :action =>
"index"}, :method =>
''get'') %>
  <%= text_field_tag ''province'', @province  %>
  <%= submit_tag "search" %>
<%= end_form_tag %>

In my routes.rb file I have:

map.connect ''job/:province'', :controller =>
''job'', :action => ''index''

So now when I submit the form I suspect the URL to become 
http://localhost:3000/job/1, but instead it becomes 
http://localhost:3000/?province=1&commit=zoeken. Does anybody know how I 
can get it to become the first URL. I really need this, because 
otherwise, the whole caching system breaks. Thanks.

Kind regards,

Nick

The problem is browser side.  It sees a form action of "/job" and just
tacks the get params onto it.

Maybe you could use javascript to alter the action of the form.
