I hope this will be an easy question…

I’m trying to migrate from Rails 1.2 to 2.1, and I must admit, the  
routing is somewhat confusing me.

When I update a form, I’m getting a routing error. (“No route matches  
{id}”) It’s because the update statement is getting assembled  
incorrectly somehow and the action is getting set to the id instead of  
“update”! I don’t understand how this is happening. Does it have to  
do with routing?

Here’s my development.log showing what I’m talking about.

Parameters: {“commit”=\>“Save”,  
“authenticity\_token”=\>“5d5f2530096051f30a11d94701281b54a537a012”,  
“action”=\>“13”,  
“adminbillingrate”=\>{“rate”=\>“30”, “employeetype\_codeid”=\>“119”},  
“controller”=\>“adminbillingrates”}

Any help would be appreciated as always!!

I figured it out. I was using form\_tag :action =\> ‘update’ instead of  
form\_for and that was causing the update statement to be incorrectly  
assembled.

Thanks anyway!!
