Hi All, I am just learning Rails. I had encountered a routing error,  
though I think I have specified the correct rules in the routing.rb. I  
have attached the code. Please help

routing.rb

map.connect ‘:controller/:action’  
map.connect ‘:controller/:action/:id’  
map.connect ‘:controller/:action/:id.:format’  
Controller

class EntriesController \< ApplicationController  
def sign\_in  
@name = params[:visitor\_name]  
end  
end  
View

Hello \<%=h @name %\> \<%=h @name %\> \<% form\_tag :action =\> 'sign\_in' do %\>

Enter your name: \<%= text\_field\_tag 'visitor\_name', @name %\>

\<%= submit\_tag 'Sign in' %\> \<% end %\> Thanks
