Yes. Here is the order of what happens: 1) The browser sends a request that hits the action connected to your view. 2) The action executes and the view containing your form is processed by rails and sent to the browser. 3) All variables in your app and their values are destroyed. 4) The user fills out the form and clicks the submit button, which sends the request to your search1 action, causing the code in search1 to execute. So any code in the search1 action executes long after rails processes the view. In your view, you referenced the @employee variable, so that view's action has to assign a value to @employee. -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.
