Form problem

Rails
1

Hi all,

I have a form:
<%= form_tag ‘/admin/update_node’ %>
<%= hidden_field_tag(‘id’, showtree.id) %>
<%= text_field(‘name’, showtree.name, {:size => 20, :value =>
showtree.name}) %>
<%= submit_tag(‘Save’) %>
<% end_form_tag %>

rendered in html

and the controller function
def update_node
Node.update(params[:id], {:name => params[:name]})
redirect_to(:action => index)
end

When I save, the record (name) gets returned with a lot of garbage
(lines and newlines).

Can someone tell me what I’m doing wrong?

Thanks in advance
Stijn

Your description is not precise… unable to comply :frowning:

params[:name] will be a Hash rather than a String because the
name property of the text field is “name[SelfMate II]”.

You probably want to use the text_field_tag helper rather
than the text_field helper.
