If you don't want the browser url to change, you can just call the other action like a method, passing the parameters in either an instance variable or a method parameter (that's default nil to allow it to be called externally). Or are you messing with params directly? This is assuming the other method is in the same controller. If it isn't, you'll have to make the other method available within the first controller, either through inheritance or mix-ins. -- Rails Wheels - Find Plugins, List & Sell Plugins - http://railswheels.com --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.
