flash[:error] -- nothing happens

in the case of invalid login, the method bellow does nothing at flash[:error], just goes directly to =>welcome page. is something missing something?

def process_login     if user = User.authenticate(params[:user])         session[:id] = user.id         redirect_to session[:return_to] || '/'     else         flash[:error] = "Invalid login."         puts 'error'         redirect_to :controller => 'main', :action => 'welcome', :username => params[:user][:username]     end end

in *.erb code is as follows

  <% if flash[:message] %>     <div><%= flash[:message] %></div>   <% end %>

  <% if flash[:error] %>     <div><%= flash[:error] %></div>   <% end %>

Is it really in all of your .erb files? In a layout file?

If I understand correctly, you're expecting it to show the error on the welcome page, yes? If so, is the flash stuff in the Welcome.html.erb file, or the layout it uses?

How is the "welcome" action in your "main" controller defined? What entries are there in your log file during invalid login processing (at least processing, parameter and rendering lies)?

hi anti...

the prob here is u have to specify even the id of the div it should be probably like this try once

<div id= 'error'><%= flash[:error] %></div>

theflashstuff has to be on the destination page, welcome.html.erb in this case.

theflashstuff goes on the same page when the action is to itself.
