I think you're probably making this too complicated. If you're using JavaScript anyway then just have one page, with one form. Use JavaScript (no AJAX required) to show and hide the fields for the various steps in the process. Ryan mentioned, and recommended, this approach at the beginning of the episode. Since have have only a single page with a single form there's nothing to pass around. The are no changes required in your controller or model classes. As far as Rails is concerned it's no different than a regular form submission. If your multi-step form is extremely complex then I might suggest considering one of the single page app solutions such as Ember.js, Backbone.js or Angular.js. -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.
