hi, guys,
I have an app which has two forms on the page.
Both forms are based on a "search" model.
1) Search by keyword only (hence, only 1 element being "keyword")
2) Search by a few different attributes (including keyword).
Attributes are such as price, brand and make.
When constructing a search form, "form_for" will be used.
Here''s an
extract from one of them:
-------------------- Extract start
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
<% form_for :search, :url => search_path, :html => {:method =>
"get"}
do |f| %>
<div id="category_div">
<%= render :partial => ''search/categories'' %>
</div>
<p>
<%= f.label :title_like, "Brand" %>
<%= f.text_field :brand_like %>
</p>
...
<p>
<%= f.label :title_like, "Keyword" %>
<%= f.text_field :title_like %>
</p>
<p>
<%= f.submit ''Search'' %>
</p>
<% end %>
-------------------- Extract end
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Now, when the page loads, there are two search forms and both of them
will have submit buttons with identical names being "search_submit".
This will obviously cause a failure in the w3c html validator due to
the identical elements appearing more than once in a page.
1) Is there any way we can specify the name of a given submit button?
2) Is there an alternative such that I can still maintain two search
forms in the same page?
thank you.

Re: how do you manually specify the name of a submit button?
Thanks craig but my mistake, guys. I meant the "id" attribute. Hence, we''ll get two submit buttons: <input id="search_submit" name="commit" type="submit" value="Search" /> (first form) <input id="search_submit" name="commit" type="submit" value="Search" /> (second form) On 17 March 2010 14:51, Craig White <craigwhite-BQ75lA0ptkhBDgjK7y7TUQ@public.gmane.org> wrote:> On Tue, 2010-03-16 at 20:44 -0700, ct9a wrote: > > hi, guys, > > > > I have an app which has two forms on the page. > > > > Both forms are based on a "search" model. > > 1) Search by keyword only (hence, only 1 element being "keyword") > > 2) Search by a few different attributes (including keyword). > > Attributes are such as price, brand and make. > > > > When constructing a search form, "form_for" will be used.
