Can't create to do list.

After I type some stuff into the to do list and click create to do list, it goes back to the to do listing page but nothing is created. Can somebody please help?

The first thing that comes to mind is that we should check and see that the todo list is actually saving to the database. Using the rails console, you can check to see the last todo_list item added to the db with something like

todo.last

which would return the last item saved in the database. Check and see if it saved.

Alternatively, there may be an issue with your html/erb code in the index.html.erb file.
