I'm programming my way through the Agile Web dev book (3rd) and there's a part in there that's causing a bit of confusion (p. 146 to be exact).
You're creating a button in a partial (named _cart.html.erb) using the following code: <%= button_to "Checkout" , :action => 'checkout' %> However, earlier in the book, we created a button to empty the cart by: <%= button_to "Empty cart" , :action => :empty_cart %> both are pointing to actions defined in the store_controller.rb. Everything's the same except that checkout is in single quotes and empty_cart is preceded by a colon. Why is this? Is it that 'checkout' is passed a variable where empty_cart is not? Or, am I having bigger brain fart than that? Thank you in advance. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.
