performance/game_id/player_id.xml and performance/game_id/player_id.html. The next

Let??™s examine the Home controller (Listing 5-11) next:
class HomeController < ApplicationController
def index
@available_players =Player.find(:all)
@available_games = Game.find(:all)
end
end

which is passed to your view. Let??™s take a look at that view next.
The first part of the view for the application (Listing 5-17) uses the @available_players
and @available_games variables, and constructs two select boxes, which let users choose a
player and game combination to view:
