It would be better if you put down what you have done so far and where  
exactly you are encountering issues or atleast the procedure to recreate  
the issues you are facing…

without any of these, it sounds as if you want some one to provide you  
an entire working code…

may be you could try this. put it in your controller. Here i assume your  
view is for the action ‘my\_action’

protect\_from\_forgery :except=\>[:my\_action]

let me know how it goes.

In Application controller Try to comment the line

# protect\_from\_forgery # :secret =\> ‘dasdas5484565asdasda’

I too had a similar type of error when i commented that line it  
worked.I dont know if this could be a solution for your problem.  
Any ways lets give a try.
