Routing Error

Hello,

I'm just starting to learn Ruby on Rails. I'm following a tutorial in a book but the examples are not working, I keep getting Routing Error "no route found to match "/\\look\\at" with {:method=>:get}"

What I have is a pretty simple example. I've put all the files in the correct directories

    <body>     <form action = "\look\at">     <br>

You shouldn't be using backslashes, even if you're on a machine which
uses backslash as its path delimiter. When you're dealing with URLs, /
is the one true path delimiter.

Thank you for your help. It was the backslashes, now I feel silly for not trying that before I posted :slight_smile:

Thanks again.
