similar to: text_area content with text_area and not text_area_tag ?

Hi I''d like to know how to add default text text area using the function text_area. I ''ve tried using value = "....." to do this but with no luck. Could some one please answer my simple question? Thanks. Dan. -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.

Considering the fact that the tag helpers all encode their attribute values by default, does this

I''m trying to get a page to validate as XHTML Strict, and I''ve gotten everything fixed except for one <textarea> that Rails is generating. <textarea cols="40" id="estcomment_comment" name="estcomment[comment]" rows="10" wrap="virtual"></textarea> This tag is being called in my view with <%=

I''m trying to use the text_area() method and would like to populate the text block with initial text. According to this: http://dev.rubyonrails.org/ticket/3752 there was a fix put in place, but I''m ont sure how to integrate this.

I had posted earlier about ''silent failure of a controller'', what seemed to be an intractable problem where I was getting failure of a particular action in a controller while others worked. What was irritating was that there were no useful messages. Nothing to the browser, nothing in logs, and even the breakpoints wouldn''t hit. Finally by a process of elemination I found

Hi, If I have @answers in my Controller, which is an array of Answer model objects which don''t exist in the DB yet... How do I bind a text_area helper in the View to each Answer?

Hi everyone, Newbie here. I''m trying to get a textual form element to submit in the context of a form_remote_tag block and having little success. Oddly (or perhaps not), using regular old form_tag in its place does cause the elements to be submitted. Here''s the relevant partial ERb code: <%= form_remote_tag( { :url => { :action => :out, :id => pending_task } } )

I have got two forms, the first is a textarea plus a link that activates some javascript to change the form, the second activates some javascript on the onchange event which changes it into a textarea form. This works in Firefox, but not in Safari. Also, I need the value which is selected. I''ve found an example that gives the parameter to the javascript, like this: <input

I have an input field with an id which has a value. The web_steps.rb method does not find the value. Is this the right step to use to check an input field? It works fine for a text_area but not an input. Scenario steps (tried both ways): Then the "travel_card_number_gate" field should contain "5" Then the "#travel_card_number_gate" field should contain "5"

Hi folks, I''ve been trying to figure this one out for a few hours now and can''t seem to understand what I might be doing wrong here. Basically, I have a textarea which has a little icon next to it which will fire off a reset of the original comment if pressed. It works under IE so that when the user types some garbase in to the textarea, and clicks the icon, the contents

I just put this up on the wiki, and thought I''d share in case it''s useful to anyone else. This is handy if you don?t want to wrap your input elements inside a div when an error occurs, but instead want to add some sort of CSS style to fields with errors: ActionView::Base.field_error_proc = Proc.new do |html_tag, instance| msg = instance.error_message error_style =

Hi! I have a "text_area" that looks like this... <%= text_area ''business'', ''otherDigitalDesc'', "cols" => 25, "rows" => 4, "value" => "Enter Description if Yes..." %> Right now, if I submit it, it adds "Enter Description if Yes" into the database. It would be nice to not have it enter
