beginner question getting data from textbox

I am just doing a simple book exercise

and i keep getting this error in the browser:

no route found to match "/\\look\\at" with {:method=>:get}

i have an action named at set up in my controller

class LookController < ApplicationController
  def at
    @data = params[:text1]
  end

end

i have the main public page where i get the user input:

<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN">
<html>
<head>
  <meta content="text/html; charset=ISO-8859-1"
 http-equiv="content-type">
  <title>Using Text Fields</title>
</head>
<body>
<h1>Working with textfields</h1>
This Ruby on Rails application lets you read data from text fields
<br>
<form action = "\look\at" >
Please enter your name.
<br>
<input type="text" name="text1" >
<br>
<br>
<input type="submit" />
</form>
<br>
</body>
</html>


and i have a view to spit out the data the user enters:

<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN">
<html>
<head>
  <meta content="text/html; charset=ISO-8859-1"
 http-equiv="content-type">
  <title>Returning data from text fields in a view</title>
</head>
<body>
<h1>Working with textfields</h1>
This view returns the data from the text field in input.html
<br>
<br>
Your name is <%= @data %>
<br>
<br>
</body>
</html>

all the files are in the correct directories, the input.html one is in
public the controller is in its default location and the at.rhtml file
is in views.

What am i missing can anyone see it?


thanks

Use forward slashes "/" in your path not backslashes "\"
even if you are
on Windows.

Re: beginner question getting data from textbox

Hi, you should change

<form action = "\look\at" >

to

<form action="/look/at" >

Also, I would recommend do the following:

a)  change your input file to input.rhtml
b)  copy the file to app/views/look folder

The above should do what you want.

Good luck,

-Conrad

Re: beginner question getting data from textbox

Hi Corey, I forget step (c), (d), and (e)

c)  add the file at.rhtml to /app/views/look folder if it''s not already
there
d)  start the webserver in windows by going to the root of your rails
application

     ruby script/server webrick

e)  go to your browser and type the following in the address field

     http://localhost:3000/look/input

Good luck,

-Conrad

OK thanks, i tried it in IE and it works fine but for some reason it
doesnt work in firefox unless i clear the entire browser cache between
exercises. There is some information that is getting stored in the
browser that causes that routing error i tried it several times and
everytime it didnt work unless i cleared out all my private data in
firefox. Its kind of one of those strange computer problems where its
hard to see why something is happening.

you make a point that caught my eye when you say to make the input.html
into a view. The author says to put it in the public folder as just an
html file, isnt the author departing from the MVC design by doing that?
I dont know what the public folder is for at this point havnt gotten
that far in the book. Should i generally make all web content into views
or is there times when you want just basic html files in the public
folder?
