I have a simple client search screen that posts the following params: Parameters: {"search"=>"Search", "action"=>"list", "client_search"=>{"first_name"=>"jane", last_name"=>"smith"}, "controller"=>"client"} This works fine. However I want to redirect to the same destination to do the search without the intervening screen. I have used the code: redirect_to :action=>"list", :client_search=>{:first_name => "jane",:last_name=>"smith"} This does not work.. the parameters appear as: Parameters: {"action"=>"list", "client_search"=>"last_namesmithfirst_namejane", "controller"=>"client"} ie it is not nesting the "client_search" hash and I get the following error when trying to update the attributes on the client_search table using these params: NoMethodError (undefined method `stringify_keys!'' for "last_namesmithfirst_namejane":String): E:/RailsApps/ruby/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/activerecord-1.15.3/lib/ active_record/base.rb:1668:in `attributes='' E:/RailsApps/ruby/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/activerecord-1.15.3/lib/ active_record/base.rb:1591:in `update_attributes'' Can anyone tell me what I am doing wrong and how to get around the problem.

try out the flash: flash[:client_search] = params[:client_search] they should then be available in the flash to the next controller instance invoked by the redirect. good luck Tim On Jul 24, 3:24 pm, giorgio <george.pever...-Re5JQEeQqe8AvxtiuMwx3w@public.gmane.org> wrote:> I have a simple client search screen that posts the following params: > > Parameters: {"search"=>"Search", "action"=>"list", > "client_search"=>{"first_name"=>"jane", last_name"=>"smith"}, > "controller"=>"client"} > > This works fine.

If I do that then the other action that is being redirected to will have to read from flash sometimes and sometimes just use params. I really want to redirect to it as if I was coming from the search screen... G.
