Am finding it hard getting the controller method that will do the job. I WILL APPRECIATE ALL ANSWERS

Hi, Kevid! Have you tried scaffolding? It shold do the trick, you have only to delete unnecessary data in index.html.erb and move the link to name.

Viorel,

Thanks for your response. the array i have is the result of a webservice. Its a data I pulled from another web site. my rails application has no model

----->>> just a form {in index.erb} to send specific data to a webservice (defined in my controller.rb). it is this websevice that returns the above array. I want to display only the name of each event { in show.erb} with the name linking to another template { details.erb } that will display details specific to the name clicked on.

Any response from any one is appreciated.
