Hi all,

I am very new to ruby...could someone help me with the method form_ tag? I think I got my syntax wrong...

<h1>Post new classified</h1>

<% form_tag( :action => 'create ) do %>

        <p><label for="classified_title">Title</label><br/>         <%= text_field 'classified', 'title' %></p>         <p><label for="classified_price">Price</label><br/>         <%= text_field 'classified', 'price' %></p>         <p><label for="classified_location">Location</label><br/>         <%= text_field 'classified', 'location' %></p>         <p><label for="classified_description">Description</label><br/

        <%= text_area 'classified', 'description' %></p>         <p><label for="classified_email">Email</label><br/>         <%= text_field 'classified', 'email' %></p>

        <%= submit_tag "Create" %> <% end %>

<%= link_to 'Back', {:action => 'list'} %>

I am also new to ruby .Looking at the code I think you have missed ' after create

<% form_tag( :action => 'create ) do %>

<% form_tag( :action => 'create' ) do %>

I would suggest using form_for rather than form_tag. It makes life a little easier.
