[Rails] Re: what does :new => {:start => :get} mean in routes?

Thanks for response. I do notice this:

form_tag sessions_path

creates sessions/create

and so when the form is posted, create method of sessions controller is 
executed.


One thing though. How does it know to post to create if it just says 
sessions_path and not create_sessions_path? Since there is only a new 
and create action, it just assumes that since a form is being posted, 
you must want it to go to create?

Thanks for response.
