Ruby on Rails

The link that a form submits to is set in the form tag itself, not the
button. Here's what I mean:

<% form_tag documents_path, :method => 'get' do %>
<div id="search">
<%= link_to("Show All") if params[:q] %>
<%= text_field_tag :q, params[:q] %>
<%= submit_tag "Search", :name => nil, :id => 'search_submit' %>
</div>
<% end %>
