First at all sorry if my english is not the best.

In the view I have this code:

\<%= select\_tag “tabla”, options\_for\_select([“Famitel”, “Polycom Kirk”,  
“LG Nortel”, “Dimax Videovigilancia”]) %\>  
\<%= text\_field :buscar, params[:codigo\_aleatorio]%\>  
\<%= button\_to “Buscar” , :action =\> :elijovista %\>

In elijovista´s controller I need to know the item that was selected in  
tabla and the text.

my code is:  
def elijovista  
debugger  
return params[:payment]

```
case :tabla
    when "Famitel"
     @ticket=Ticket.find( :first, :select =>"reference",

```

:conditions=\>[‘codigo\_aleatorio=?’,params[:codigo\_aleatorio]])

```
    # renders app/views/zonaclientes/showFamitel
    render :template => 'zonaclientes/showFamitel'
  return

```

.  
.  
.  
.  
(The same for the rest of the items)  
.  
.  
But render never works, always show the elijovista view.

Whats wrong? How can obtain the option selected in tabla?

Thanks for all
