Rails - Jul 2013 - How to display the selected values from the drop down list menu in rails?

Dear Guys,
I have created the drop down list for state and city. Now when the user 
selects the state say florida and city say miami, I want to display these 
names on the new page when the user clicks the search link. Using link_to,  
I am not able to pass these names to the new page. Ideally these selected 
names should go as :paramsbut they arent going through the url .Please me 
know if its still not clear. Thanks a lot!! Heres the code:

<%= form_for Investopp.new do |f| %><div
class="field"><%= f.label :state_id %><br/><%=
f.collection_select  :state_id, Investopp.year_lookup(@state_ids), :label,
:value, include_blank: true %></div>
<div class="field"><%= f.label :city_id, "city"
%><br /><%= f.grouped_collection_select :city_id,
Investopp.year_lookup(@state_ids), :cities, :value, :id,:name, include_blank:
true %></div><% end %><%= link_to ''Back'',
investopps_path %><%= link_to ''Search'',
investopps_browsedisplay_path %>

Correct, or at least not without JavaScript.

The easiest way is to make ''Search'' a submit button inside the
form.
