Routing Error Fix?

I get a routing error when I try and read from a text field. The error says:

ROUTING ERROR no route found to match "/\\look\\at" with {:method=>:get}

Heres the code Im using to read data from a text field: input.html: <html>   <head>     <title>Text Fields</title>   </head>   <body>     <h1>Textfields</h1>     <br>

    <form action = "\look\at">       Please enter your name.       <br>       <input type = "text" name="text1">       <br>       <br>       <input type="submit"/>     </form>   </body> </html>

look_controller.rb: class LookController < ApplicationController   def at     @data = params[:text1]   end end

at.rhtml: <html>   <head>     <title>Reading from Text Fields</title>   </head>   <body>     <h1>Reading from Textfields</h1>     <br>     Your name is <%= @data %>     <br>   </body> </html>

Does anyone know why I keep getting this error. This seems like a simple thing but I cant figure it out and its impeding my ruby learning process.

Don't use backslashes "\" in your URL paths. Use forward slashes "/" instead.
