Colin, Thank you for your reply. Yes, passing the information to the controller is what I meant (sorry about that!). This is just a toy project where I'd like to use the extra parameters (based on what the user enters) to "spit out" more information in the view. For example, If the user choses New York as their state and clicks submit, the resulting "show" view shows the user other information about the state they chose from the selector list (such as the capital).
