I am new to ruby and rails and I am having a problem from Beggining Ruby on Rails Ecommerce. (Yes, its an old book).

I have these 2 code sets for a view:

new.html.erb:

<%= form_tag :action=> 'create' do -%> <%= render :partial => 'form' %> <%= submit_tag 'Create' %> <%= end -%>

<% link_to 'Back', :action => 'index' %>

_form.html.erb:

<% error_messages_for 'supplier' %>

First Name

Last Name

But It wont show although I added the do option. It keeps giving me this error:

C:/rails/emporium/app/views/admin/supplier/new.html.erb:1: syntax error, unexpected ')' ...orm_tag :action=> 'create' do ).to_s) ... ^ C:/rails/emporium/app/views/admin/supplier/new.html.erb:4: syntax error, unexpected keyword_end ; @output_buffer.concat(( end ).to_s) ^ C:/rails/emporium/app/views/admin/supplier/new.html.erb:5: syntax error, unexpected tIVAR, expecting ')' @output_buffer.concat "\n" ^ C:/rails/emporium/app/views/admin/supplier/new.html.erb:7: syntax error, unexpected keyword_ensure, expecting keyword_end C:/rails/emporium/app/views/admin/supplier/new.html.erb:9: syntax error, unexpected $end, expecting ')'

Can anyone suggest how I fix this since I have not fould a google answer yet.

Thanks
