Hi, Is it possible to use the ActionView::Helpers::FormHelper.text_field with an instance variable instead of a model. e.g. In the controller: def meth @value = ''hi there'' end In view: <%= text_field ''value'', nil %> It doesn''t work with what is above (doesn''t like the nil) and produces very strange results replacing nil with

Hello, Is it possible to fill the textarea content when using the text_area function ? Why there is 2 , + or - similar class : FormHelper and FormTagHelper ?

I am trying to set a default value in a text_field form. I know how to do this in html, but is there a way to do this with form_for Here is my code <% form_for :user do |f| -%> <p><label for="firstname"%>First Name</label><br/> <%= f.text_field :firstname%></p> ... <p><label for ="email"%>Email</label><br/>

When I look at the docs, password_field seems to take 3 arguments. So when I ''play around" with things and I attempt to pass three arguments to password_field ...

Hi I have been following a thread here.. http://www.ruby-forum.com/topic/new?forum_id=3 but it did raise some new curiosities that I hope someone can help address here :) In particular it is with Duane''s super secret hack that works for multiple child objects > There''s a super-secret and mostly undocumented way of doing this > that''s kind of handy, actually.

I stumbled on the fact that text_area_tag does not HTML escape its content by default. For example: text_area_tag "body", "</textarea><script>alert(''xss'');<script>" If you try that, you''ll see that the content is inserted literally. Considering the fact that the tag helpers all encode their attribute values by default, does this

I have a User ActiveRecord model that has email and password properties. I want to build a login for that has a "remember me" option. My view looks like this: <% @page_title = "Login" -%> <%= error_messages_for ''user'' %> <%= form_tag %> <table> <tr> <td align="right" width="1%"

Hi ActionView::Helpers::FormHelper methods (e.g. #text_field, #check_box...) take object_name as an argument. From this argument they infer a name that is supposed to contains the reference to the relevant object. I can''t see why the FormHelper methods were designed that way. Compared to simply passing them a reference, the current way seems too complicated and an invitation to problems

Hello, I don''t understand how formhelper works (In a Framework point of view) ... For example if I use the chek_box formhelper 1/ check_box("puppy", "gooddog", {}, "yes", "no") will call @puppy.gooddog BUT, how it is possible since the check_box has only a string parameters not instance object ? 2/ if you create your own helper which generate

Thank you to everybody that has helped me since I signed up. I''m flying along thanks to you. I have a question about the FormTagHelper "start_form_tag": I''ve been trying to figure out how to get Rails to output a "name" attribute for my form so I can hook in a Javascript to focus on a field inside of it on load, but it doesn''t look like I can do

Just kidding, it''s not as bad as it seems.

I must be missing something when it comes to the parameter differences between form FormOptionsHelper select and FormTagHelper select_tag. Code that follows, works perfectly - <%= f.select :unit, units_to_select(@product), :size=>"20"%> The following code, does not. The helper function never even seems to be called. <%= select_tag "unit",

Listmates (only posting to one list) Compiz has been running great with the 8.433 driver except for the libGL SONAME lockup on exit. see: https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=344135 I just built and installed the 8.452 driver.
