i have a form that uses :method => ''get'' to pass data to the controller.. the form has one text field called "zipcode".. i also have a route that looks like: map.connect ''find_place/:zipcode'', :controller => ''find_place'', :action => ''by_zip'' this will allow me to pass info on the url.. what i would like to do is have the form spit the "get" call so that it follows the routing and looks like: /find_place/90210 instead of: /find_place/by_zip?zipcode=90210&commit=Find+a+Place%21 anyone have any ideas? thanks! -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.

That should work, but you need to have that route first, before any
other route that will catch the params and build a URL.
I would do
map.connect ''find_place/:zipcode'', :controller =>
''find_place'', :action
=> ''by_zip'', :zipcode => /[0-9]{5}/
That will match your route only if the zip is a string of 5 digits.

The fault lies with the browser. The knows that that a form posted via "get" needs to have the form data in the url. The the browser creates a query string out of the form data and appends it the form action url. The browser can''t read your routes.rb file, and wouldn''t be able to parse it anyways. So the browser contructs the url in the only way it knows how. There are two ways around this, one server side and one client side: Server Side: You could detect the submission to the ugly url and redirect to the right one with something like: def by_zip if request.request_uri =~ /\?/ return redirect_to url_for(:controller => ''find_place'', :action => ''by_zip'', :zip_code => params[:zipcode]) end ... end Client side: Use javascript to dynamically change what happens when the submit button is clicked. <%= submit_button "Submit", :onclick => "window.location.href = ''#{/find_place/''+$(''zip'').value" %> -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.
