A restful way might be something like this:

/widgets?category_id=23

Then you could pass that param in your link:

<%= link_to "New Widget", new_widget_path(:category_id => params [:category_id) %>

Which would get you something like:

/widgets/new?category_id=23

And in your controller:

def new
   @widget = Widget.new
   @widget.category_id = params[:category_id]
end

That would be slick!

is there an easy way to get information about the referring page?

specifically, i'm trying to detect which Category a user was browsing in when the clicked a "new" link and than adjust the Category select field accordingly.
