So the class of "user" isn't an ActiveRecord model? How is the model

In the controller action that your form is submitted to, you can
access the value submitted as @params[:user]['name']

If you were populating populating an ActiveRecord model, you could
call Class.new, so for example if your ActiveRecord model class was
User, you could use something like:

@user = User.new(@params[:user])
