</div>

Is it possible to route/call a different action depending on a value of  
the params hash?

I have a form with a pair of radio buttons. I would like to call a  
different action depending on which radio button is selected. Is it  
possible?

Hi Juan K.

With javascript you can set the action at runtime

Of course, that won’t work if the client has turned JS off.
