I actually got a little better. I updated the search2_controller.rb
index method code with this:
def index
if request.post?
@origin_place = params[:city][:namestate]
@destination_place = params[:city][:namestate]
redirect_to({ :action => "map_places", :origin_place =>
@origin_place,
:destination_place =>
@destination_place, })
end
end
Now I am able to get the origin_place. However, destination_place is
the same as origin_place. The URL generated by the clicking the Submit
button is:
http://localhost:3001/search2/map_places?destination_place=Ambler%2C+PA&origin_place=Ambler%2C+PA
How come is it returning the same city name for both origin and
destination ?
Thanks,
Nick,
