Hello,
I need to put an AJAX, form such that it is inside a table, and spans across
few rows.
But, what I am noticing is that, while submitting the form, the data in the
fields is not submitted.
If I move the form outside the table or inside a cell, things work OK, but not
when the form is inside the table and spans few rows. This problem is only
with AJAX forms, regular forms work perfect. I was wondering if this is
something to do with prototype, or am I doing something completely wrong?
Below, is a stripped down version of the code, which I have been trying. While
calling the action the parameter, member_id is not passed.
<table>
<%= form_remote_tag(:url => {:controller =>
''relationships'', :action => ''move''})
%>
<%= hidden_field_tag ''member_id'',10 %>
<tr> <td ></td>
</tr>
<%= submit_tag "Save", :class => "button" %>
<%= end_form_tag %>
</table>
Thanks for your help.

Hi Surendra, I was recently trying to do the same thing and basically I discovered that it''s not really possible to do this reliably because it doesn''t conform to web standards and doesn''t seem to be supported by browsers. I ended up fitting my form in a single td cell, although I made the cell span several columns. I think it''s worth looking at the code used by the ajax scaffold generator to get an idea of a possible solution.

fwiw, having a form tag as a child to a table tag is not valid markup in xhtml (and bad form in any other, in my opinion) . Is there a particular reason why you put form tags within a table like that and not around the table or within a table cell?
