Hi

What’s the way to create form based on the retrieved input from the  
post ?

Example:

I have action select:

def select  
@imitem = Imitem.find(params[:id])  
end

which reads ID (database ID) value from the post form. Now once I have  
that ID I need to find out  
if that IMITEM ID record on database has agreement=1 and if it is then  
create a FORM1 and if  
not then create a FORM2.

Do I need to make these definitions on controller section for SELECT  
action or do I make those on select.html page  
or is that even possible ?
