hi there I am a newbie i am creating a report a bug application. while the user clicks the link i need to catch up few hidden fields like http_user_agent and save it database. So i did something like this <%= link_to "Report Bug", :controller => ''bug'', :action => ''new'', :http:user_agent => request.env[''HTTP_USER_AGENT'']%> I have a controller in which i didnt include any code for catching the hidden_field .The controller works just fine in getting the statements from the user saving it in the database. but couldnt figure how to pass the hidden fileds along with statements. class BugController < ApplicationController def new @bug = Bug.new end def create @bug = Bug.new(params[:bug]) if @bug.save redirect_to :action=> ''index'' else flash[:notice] = ''please enter your statements'' redirect_to :action =>''new'' end end def index end end and then views new.rhtml and index.rhtml. so how should i go abt collecting the env variables.. let me know any suggestion Regards Ramya --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.
