Does any one know if there is a Form Builder for Rails... Maybe Something like formassembly.com/form-builder.php formassembly.com/form-garden.php Allowing the user to builder web 2.0 forms on the fly. regards, Leon Leslie
I don''t know why you just couldn''t use these forms inside Rails. You might have to modify some of the XHTML it generates to play nice with the framework, but it shouldn''t be too hard.

I am in the process of writing several new generators. As I proceed, I
am running into a recurring design problem. I''d like users of the
generator to be able to rerun it to upgrade when a new version becomes
available, without having to do a lot of mucking about in the code. My
questions:
1) Is this a reasonable goal?
I think so, but you''re welcome to try to talk me out of it.
2) What''s the best way to go about it?
My ideas so far:
* Provide "base" models that the user inherits from
* Do "smart" rewriting if the code exists
Thoughts?

P.S Since this list seems to be running at bogged-in-tapioca speed,
I''ve
also thrown up a page on the wiki to discuss these questions.
