Rails - Feb 2007 - form_for only for single-form pages? (ignore previous)

Howdy, I''m new to rails and I''m learning form Agile Web Dev
with Rails.
It seems all of the examples that use form_for use it in situations
where the action first creates a new object before doing a
request.post...

If I''m in a situation where I''m managing Roles, Rights, and
assignments
of rights to roles, I may want to have one little form with a text field
and a "Create Role" button, another little form with a text field and
a
"Create Right" button, etc... in those situations is there a use for a
form_for at all?  An action can''t presuppose that I''m going to
be using
either or, so should I just create separate actions to invoke from the
separate forms (ex ''create_new_role'',
''create_new_right'', etc) using
form_tag and then redirect :back?

(Sorry, on my previous post I accidentally said "form_tag" in the
topic
and it doesn''t let me edit... so I reposted.)

You definitely want the one form to POST to /roles and the other to
POST to /rights, but I''m not sure how that precludes you from using
form_for.

Perhaps you haven''t noticed that a form_for uses a block that has a do
and an end?  So you just create the first form with form_for do ...
end and then create the next form with form_for do ... end.

You can have as many forms as you like on a single page.

Ciao,
Sheldon.
