Do you understand how HTML forms work in general? If so, the answer
should be obvious (hint: the submit_tag has nothing to do with it); also
look at form_for and form_tag.

If you don’t understand how HTML forms work in general, then you’re not
ready to be developing Web applications yet. Read through a good HTML
reference, then come back. Good luck!

Whilst I agree with Marnen, if you are using Rails as a way of
learning about the whole concept of web applications and am therefore
learning about html, css, javascript, SQL and Rails at the same time,
then whilst working through an html reference and tutorials have a
look at the Rails Guides at http://guides.rubyonrails.org/. Start
with Getting Started obviously. Playing with Rails at the same time
as learning the more tedious (but necessary) details of html will make
your life more enjoyable.

A submit_tag goes inside a form, for example:

<%= form_tag :controller => ‘votes’, :action => ‘create’ do %>
<%= submit_tag %>
<% end %>

This generates HTML like:

So when you press that submit button, your browser POSTs to the
‘/votes/create’ URL.

When Rails receives that request, it turns the URL into a controller
and an action, based on the rules in your config/routes.rb. In this
case it goes to the action/method called ‘create’ in VotesController.
