Non responsive submit_tag

I have written a submit_tag in my games/show.html.erb class and it is as followed:

 <% form_tag game_path, :method => 'submit' do %>
      <div class="actions"><%= submit_tag "Interested in trading", :name => 'confirm' %></div>
 <% end %>

In my games_controller under the show method I have the following:

def show
 @game = Game.find(params[:id])


 if params['confirm']
   respond_to do |format|
     user = @game.user
     email = user.email
     g = GameTrade.game_interest(user)
     g.deliver
     format.html { redirect_to root_url }
     format.json { render json: @game }
   end
 elsif
   respond_to do |format|
     format.html
   end
 end
end

Now the show page displays fine but when I click on the submit_tag it does nothing and by nothing I mean it is dead you click on it and it does no action what so ever. Just a dummy. Any ideas what is wrong in my controller logic here?

The problem is your view, not your controller.

Submit tags must be inside forms. When you click on it, they submit the form -- without a containing form, the submit tag is totally useless.

If you want just a button that leads to somewhere, try checking out button_to: it will create a submit tag and a form directed towards whatever action you specify.
