You could use button_to unless you're already inside a form. Or use link_to and pass all the params, styling the link to look like a button. Or use javascript to populate the form with the details when they click the button. -philip -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.
