Take input in the view and pass it to the contoller

The following code in not rendering even the buttons:

<% form_tag :controller=> :create_new, :action=>:input do %>
<%=text_field_tag :my_input%>
<%=submit_tag "Send input"%>
<%end%>

the controller create_new has the following method:

def input
@my_input=params[:my_input]
end

the routes.rb has::

resources :create_new do
   post :input, :on=>:collection

For rails 3 we have to use '=' symbol for form_tag and form_for. so change your code as follows..

 <%=form_tag :controller=> :create_new, :action=>:input do %>
 <%=text_field_tag :my_input%>
 <%=submit_tag "Send input"%>
 <%end%>

Use <%= form_tag instead of <% form_tag.
