can someone help me…I understand that with 2.0 start\_ and end\_  
form\_tag has been deprecated? Below is my code and I can’t seem to  
rewrite such that it will work correctly with 2.0…

\<%= form\_tag :action =\> “save” , :id =\> @page %\>  
\<%= text\_area ‘page’, ‘content’ %\>  
\<%= submit\_tag %\>  
\<%= end\_form\_tag %\>

thanks for the help, still noobish

You’re now supposed to write

\<% form\_tag … do %\>  
…  
\<% end %\>
