Igonre Validatoin with Cancel Button

Rails
#1

I have a forum field, and I use the validates_ in my model and it works
fine and dandy, but I dont want it to check validation when the user
hits cancel on a form.

The validation stops them from getting where they want which would be
away from the form regardless of the errors…

Would I have to do some checking inside the validate function in my
model to ignore them under the condition they pressed the cancel
button?

Suggestions on going about it?

#2

It seems my cancel button actaully does commit changes, how do I stop
that as well?

What you are describing sounds totally vague, but nevertheless

class BooController < ApplicationController
def do_something
stuff.save(params[:cancel] ? true : false)
end
end
