Rails - Aug 2010 - [Form] Method POST & PUT problem

Hello,

I have a form that should be a POST method, but Rails insist to put a
hidden field "_method" that has the value "put" does anyone
knows why?

Thanks,

David Sousa

Controller: -------------------------------
  def new
    @user = @current_user
  end
-------------------------------------------

View: -------------------------------------
<% semantic_form_for @user, :url => profile_reset_password_url do |form|
-%>
  <% form.inputs -%>
    <%= form.input :password -%>
    <%= form.input :new_password -%>
    <%= form.input :new_password_confirmation -%>
  <% end -%>
  <%= form.buttons %>

<% end -%>
-------------------------------------------

Routes: -----------------------------------
  map.namespace :profile do |profile|
    profile.resource :reset_password, :only => [:new, :create]
  end
-------------------------------------------

Output: -----------------------------------
<form method="post" id="edit_user_2"
class="formtastic user"

<input type="hidden" value="put"
name="_method">
<input type="hidden"

anyone knows why?
Since @user already exists in the database (you assign an existing  
record @current_user to it) and is not a new_record?, Rails assumes  
you want to update the record aka a PUT request. Probably just  
adding :method => :post as a parameter will do the trick.

Thanks Peter, just adding :method => :post worked.

Let me ask one more thing, just after a submit the form, the firefox 
open a dialog box asking me each of users that is in a list that I want 
to change the password. Actually does not matter each you pick, the user 
that you are logon on the site gets the pass changed.

Tks again.

David Sousa
