I’m following this howto below:,  
[http://wiki.rubyonrails.com/rails/pages/A\_quick\_and\_dirty\_homemade\_authentication\_solution](http://wiki.rubyonrails.com/rails/pages/A_quick_and_dirty_homemade_authentication_solution)  
but it does not shows a example form under index.rhtml  
I created like 20 so far, searched the whole internet and after some  
examples and even some minor advice from some people  
still does not work… I am wondering if someone could just drop me a  
email with a small simple form that will work with the above code…  
so at least I can try something make sure is my problem and then I hack  
from there,

Thanks! I really banging my head with this one…

\<% form\_for(:login, :url =\> {:controller =\> ‘login’, :action =\>  
‘check’}) do |f| -%\>

Name: \<%= f.text\_field :n %\>

Name: \<%= f.text\_field :p %\>

\<%= submit\_tag('login now!') %\> \<% end -%\>

I can’t vouch for this code – just wrote it out of the air, but it  
seems like it would create a form to do what you want. What you need  
to do is get the form in place, start the server, then tail your log/  
development.log. You’ll see the posts from your form as you hit the  
server and will be able to examine the params and the controller/  
action pairs that are being called.

Hope this gets you started.

Hi thanks so much, I finally got something working last night…  
but this form you posted looks more clean so I may model around it.

Thanks.
