Question

I’m writing a ruby on rails application, and am getting a compile error for the following code

<%= form_tag(search_path, :method => "get") do %>
<%= label_tag(:q, "Search for:") %>
<%= text_field_tag(:q) %>
<%= submit_tag("Search") %>
<% end %>

this is sample code from the ruby on rails forms guide:
http://guides.rubyonrails.org/form_helpers.html

The error generated is,

compile error
/Users/kmb89144/Desktop/Stoastic/app/views/application/index.html.erb:3: syntax error, unexpected ‘)’
…h_path, :method => “get”) do ).to_s); @output_buffer.concat …
^
/Users/kmb89144/Desktop/Stoastic/app/views/application/index.html.erb:13: syntax error, unexpected kENSURE, expecting ‘)’
/Users/kmb89144/Desktop/Stoastic/app/views/application/index.html.erb:15: syntax error, unexpected kEND, expecting ‘)’

Extracted source (around line #3):

1: 

2:

3: <%= form_tag(search_path, :method => “get”) do %>

4: <%= label_tag(:q, “Search for:”) %>

5: <%= text_field_tag(:q) %>

6: <%= submit_tag(“Search”) %>

Any suggestions?

Thanks

Try to remove = from form line:

<% form_tag(search_path, :method => "get") do %>
