What does your routes.rb look like? Does it have
map.resources :categories in it?
For the create/update form try:
<% form_for @category do |c| %>
<%= error_messages_for 'category' -%>
<table>
<tr>
<th>Name</th>
etc...
</tr>
<tr>
<td><%= c.text_field :name %></td>
etc...
<td><%= submit_tag 'save' %></
td>
</tr>
</table>
<% end %>
