RoR: form_tag values to controller

I am again stuck on my road to learn RoR, now with form_tag. I followed the rails guide but not able to pass the parameters from form_tag to controller. My index.html.erb is:

    <h1>Welcome to mySite.com</h1>
    <p></p>

    <p></p>

<%= form_tag(controller: "logins", method: "post") do %>
  <p>
    <%= label_tag(:username, "Username") %><br>
    <%= text_field_tag(:username) %>
  </p>
  <p>
    <%= label_tag(:password, "Password") %><br>
    <%= password_field_tag(:password) %>
  </p>

  <p>
    <%= submit_tag "create" %>
    <%= submit_tag "clicked" %> 
  </p>


<% end %>

Controller looks like:

class LoginsController < ApplicationController
  def index

  end

 def create
   if params[:commit] == 'clicked'
     render action: "clicked"
   else
     render text params.inspect
   end

end
def clicked
  render text: params.inspect
end
end

routes.rb

match "logins/index" => "logins#index", :as => :index , :via => [:get, :post]
#get "logins/create"
match "logins/create" => "logins#create", :as => :create ,:via => :get
#match "logins/clicked" => "logins#clicked", :as => :clicked, :via => [:get, :post]
get 'logins/clicked', to: 'logins#clicked'


#resources :logins

Button click on index.html.erb refreshes the page like brings me back to index page.

Update: Updated with the suggestions in the comment.

Thanks Abhi

<h1>Welcome to mySite.com</h1>
<p></p>

<%= form_tag(controller: "logins", action: "create") do %>
<p>
  <%= label_tag(:username, "Username") %><br>
  <%= text_field_tag(:username) %>
</p>
<p>
  <%= label_tag(:password, "Password") %><br>
  <%= password_field_tag(:password) %>
</p>

<p>
<%=submit_tag "Create"%> 
<%= submit_tag "Clicked" %> 
</p>


<% end %>

Controller looks like:

class LoginsController < ApplicationController
def index

end

def create
 if params[:commit] == "Clicked"
  p "hi"
  redirect_to clicked_logins_path(request.parameters)
  else
  render text: params.inspect + "hi"
  end
end
def clicked


render text: params.inspect

end
end

in routes.rb

resources :logins do
 collection do
  get 'clicked'
 end
end

i hope it helps.

you need to give submit path in your form_tag

Welcome to mySite.com

<%= form_tag(clicked_login_path, method: "post" ) do %>
<p>
  <%= label_tag(:username, "Username") %><br>
  <%= text_field_tag(:username) %>
</p>
<p>
  <%= label_tag(:password, "Password") %><br>
  <%= password_field_tag(:password) %>
</p>

<p>

<%= submit_tag 'submit'%>    
</p>
