Hey guys I have a simple ror application for some demo stuff.

I am running into a problem with trying to move my login form from the users controller and just have it displayed in the main navigation so that a user can easily log in from anywhere.

The problem is the form doesn't generate the correct action for the html form. Ruby code:

<% form_for(url_for(:action => 'login'), :method => 'post') do |f| %>
    <li><%= f.text_field("username") %></li>
    <li><%= f.password_field("password") %></li>
    <li><%= submit_tag("Login")%></li>
<% end %>

The problem is depending on the controller I am currently in this generates HTML actions like

<form action="/home" method="post">...</form>

when it should be generating HTML like so

<form action="/login" method="post">...</form>

I know I could simply do an HTML form here but I want to keep things as easy to maintain as possible.

Any help?
