Had some issues to get this of the ground with the new version of ROR. And tried to find the solution in here - no luck.

But here is a solution that work as supposed.

---- look_controller.rb ----

Code:

class LookController < ApplicationController
  def at
    @data_hash = params[:cruncher]
    @cruncher = Cruncher.new(@data_hash[:crunch])

    @data = @cruncher.crunch
  end

  def input
    @cruncher = Cruncher.new("")
  end
end

---- cruncher.rb ----

Code:

class Cruncher 
  attr_reader :crunch
  attr_writer :crunch

  def initialize(data)
    @crunch = data
  end

end

---- at.rhtml ----

Code:

<html>
  <head>
    <title>Using HTML Control Shortcuts</title>
  </head>

  <body>
    <h1>Using HTML Control Shortcuts</h1>
    This application uses Rails HTML control shortcuts.
    <br>
    <br>
    Your name is <%= @data %>.
    <br>
    <br>
  </body>
</html>

---- input.rhtml ----

Code:

<html>
  <head>
    <title>Using Text Fields</title>
  </head>
  <body>
    <h1>Working With Text Fields</h1>
    This Ruby on Rails application lets you read data from text fields.
    <br>
    <%= form_tag ({:action => "at", :method => "post"}) %>
      Please enter your name.
      <br>
      <%= text_field ("cruncher", "crunch", {"size" => 30}) %>
      <br>
      <br>
      <input type="submit"/>
    <%= form_tag %>
  </body>
</html>
