Noob question:

I have in my routes.db:

map.signup ‘signup/:plan\_name’, :controller =\> ‘accounts’, :action =\>  
‘new’

No problem, but this page contains a form which when invalid does a  
render :action =\> ‘new’ which causes the browser URL to jump back to /  
Accounts

All works but looks ugly, how can I correct the render action to take  
me back to my aliased action (ie. /Signup/xxxx) ?

Many thanks all!
