I just did the above because I am lazy. I also modified the "check<em>for</em>cancel" method to redirect to the show action if there is an id param and the index action if there isn't. That way it is properly handling canceling from a "new" form and an "edit" form. </p> <p>onclick would probably work just fine - I just like the look of:</p> <p><code>submit_tag "Cancel"</code> in my views.</p> @jx - Could be.

onclick would probably work just fine - I just like the look of:

submit_tag "Cancel" in my views.

It seems a regular button with an onclick-handler would be superior for the task?</p> What is the thought behind using a submit-button for cancel?
