It makes more sense when you read the documentation: :back: Back to the page that issued the request. Useful for forms that are triggered from multiple places. Short-hand for redirect_to(request.env["HTTP_REFERER"]) The key part is that last sentence. :back is an alias, a symlink, a stand-in for request.env["HTTP_REFERER"]. I was even hesitant bringing that in because of the feature loops it leads to. I don't think we should go further in core. I'd much welcome a plugin, though. For people who needs advanced redirecting to back. -- David Heinemeier Hansson http://www.loudthinking.com -- Broadcasting Brain http://www.basecamphq.com -- Online project management http://www.backpackit.com -- Personal information manager http://www.rubyonrails.com -- Web-application framework _______________________________________________ Rails-core mailing list Rails-core@lists.rubyonrails.org http://lists.rubyonrails.org/mailman/listinfo/rails-core
