make accessible object..

Hi, I've created a form and when I click "Place Order" button, I'm taken to the checkout details page with all the details about the customer and the bookings and then there is a "Confirm" button, on clicking which all the details will be saved in the database tables. But a silly problem (ended up being huge for me), heres what I've done:

VIEW: <%form_for :customer, :url => {:action => :checkout_details} do |form|%> ............. <%=submit_tag "Place Order"%> <%end>

CONTROLLER: def checkout_details @customer = Customer.new(params[:customer]) end

Until now I could get the object of the Customer and hence all the inputs from the user but this checkout_details.rhtml doesn't save anything it just displays all the customer details and booking details and a "Confirm" button on clicking which "save_details" action will be called which saves all the details. So, how can I pass this @customer object to this save_details action? Sorry, if it is silly, but big enough for me to get stuck. Thanks..

I do recommend you buy a book on Rails. It is worth the investment.
