Why the hell would you have 20 different states? Perhaps you're abusing your state machine... But if not, then yeah, maybe a go_to_state action would work better. > is there a way to pass put params in a button_to > or link_to? Sure, you can always have a query string in your URL, or play with your routes to pass the appropriate parameters. Query strings work just as well in Rails as anywhere else. > in my controllers update action, can i check if any > specific params are specified and then delegate to the appropriate > action? Of course you can, though this will be messy if overdone. > the docs for button_to don't really help me too much. You probably don't want button_to anyway -- there's generally no reason to use JavaScript for something this simple.
