Might not be the prettiest, but you could do this: modify your index.html.erb so that you're giving a name attribute each item in your list.
<tr> <td><%= link_to(item.name, :name => item.id) %></td> </tr> Then modify the 'back' link in the action in question like this: <%= link_to 'Back', items_path + "#[email protected]}" %> better yet, roll it into a helper. :) On Dec 18, 9:57 pm, Ken Wagner <[email protected]> wrote: > In Rails I have a DB Table index.html.erb view.
