in my controller

@method = @params['user_username'] or @method = @params['user[username]']

both is not working? not receiving anything??

//Jamal

Use params[:field] instead of @params[:field] @params is the old way of doing things.

Try @method = params[:user][:username]

The data in the form will go into params[:user] and then you can access the individual fields if you need to though most of the time you will just be doing something like @user = User.new(params[:user])
