Thanks for your answer. I'm new to ruby and here is my code:
index.rhtml:
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Strict//EN"
"http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-strict.dtd";>
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml";>
<head>
<meta http-equiv="content-type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8"/
>
<title>Mezzoo.com</title>
<%= javascript_include_tag :defaults %>
</head>
<body>
<h1>Input Places</h1>
<fieldset>
<% form_tag do %>
<p>
<label for="search2_origin_place">Origin Place:</
label>
<%= text_field_with_auto_complete :city, :namestate %>
</p>
<p>
<label for="search2_destination_place">Destination
Place:</label>
<%= text_field_with_auto_complete :city, :namestate %>
</p>
<p>
<%= submit_tag "Start Search" %>
</p>
<% end %>
</fieldset>
</body>
</html>
-------------------------------------
here is the controller code for search2_controller.rb:
class Search2Controller < ApplicationController
auto_complete_for :city, :namestate
def index
if request.post?
@origin_place = params[:origin_place]
@destination_place = params[:destination_place]
redirect_to({ :action => "map_places", :origin_place =>
@origin_place,
:destination_place =>
@destination_place, })
end
end
def map_places()
@origin_place = params[:origin_place]
@destination_place = params[:destination_place]
end
end
------------------------------
Here is the code for map_places.rhtml:
<h1>Map Places</h1>
<p>
Origin Place: <%= @origin_place %>
</p>
<p>
Destination Place: <%= @destination_place %>
</p>
---------------
I must be missing something easy.
Thanks,
