Thanks Fred, So, realistically if I just want a one-form submit query, I have to either add hidden field inputs that pull the given parameters on the given page so the form builds the query, or I have to use routes to do something similar... I'm almost inclined to believe that it will be simpler to just create an advanced search form with all queries in place.. -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.
