to do a submit with a form would look like this:

\<% form\_tag :action =\> ‘method\_nam’ do -%\>

\<%= submit\_tag “Next”, :class =\> ‘inputsubmit’ %\>

\<% end -%\>

if you want to call a different controller from the one you are  
currently in do this:

\<% form\_tag :action =\> ‘method\_nam’, :controller =\> ‘controller\_name’ do  
-%\>

\<%= submit\_tag “Next”, :class =\> ‘inputsubmit’ %\>

\<% end -%\>

A reference I use all the time is the rails api:  
[http://api.rubyonrails.org/](http://api.rubyonrails.org/)
