Hi,

I am implementing a wizard entry form and ran across the job board on  
37signals, which I think could come in quite handy. The URLs are  
encoded the following way:

[We Work Remotely: Remote jobs in design, programming, marketing and more](https://jobs.37signals.com/jobs/new) =\> 1st page  
[We Work Remotely: Remote jobs in design, programming, marketing and more](https://jobs.37signals.com/jobs/new;preview) =\> 2nd page, the preivew

How would the corresponding controller/action look like and how the  
form\_tag in the form?

Thanks much,  
Juergen

These are done using resources. From  
[http://api.rubyonrails.org/classes/ActionController/Resources.html#M000176:](http://api.rubyonrails.org/classes/ActionController/Resources.html#M000176:)

map.resources :messages, :new =\> { :new =\> :any, :preview =\> :post }

# → POST /messages/new;preview (maps to the #preview action)

# also adds a named route called “preview\_new\_message”

# → /messages/new can be invoked via any request method

This is all rails 1.2.x stuff. Here’s a tutorial I googled:  
[http://www.eribium.org/?p=71](http://www.eribium.org/?p=71), but there are probably better links out  
there.
