This has to be so easy (and probably obvious) that I''m going to be embarrassed when I see the answer. I have a front end form that - depending on what the user selects and enters - will cause different actions to take place. There is no ActiveRecord associated with the front end, so I don''t have an object to instantiate for the form to work with. Do I need to create a dummy class to for the form, or is there a simpler way to get to data off of it. Ideally, I''d like to do a if request.post? if @inputDat.xxx == .... end type of check and redirect to the action that handles what the user is wanting to do.

all the forms Post data will be in the params[] hash. forms are never bind to a specific model, the params[] hash always contains the POST data of a submitted form so if you have a <input type="text" name="search" value=""> you can access this fields content with params[:search] etc. etc. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.
