Adding a path attribute to a form

Hi there,

I'm using a form tag to implement a search text_field.

    <% form_tag catalogues_path(:select => params[:select]), :method => "get", :class => "search_form" do %>

The problem is the catalogues_path which should consist a select param. Unfortunately the select param doesn't get handed over in the upper example...

Any hint will be appreciated!

Thanks Makrus

Makrus, as far as I understood your problem, you don't have to include :select in your path manually. Since your form uses :get method, params will be sent via url automatically, you have only to name them properly:

        <% form_tag catalogues_path, :method => :get do %>           <%= text_field_tag :select, params[:select] %> <%= submit_tag "Find", :name => '' %>         <% end %>
