Rails - Sep 2005 - form_tag & form_remote_tag html id attribute

Hello,

Is there a way to set the html element id for the form_tag and
form_remote_tag on the server side?

I want to have this resultant html...

<form id=''something'' ...
...
</form>

Thank you,
Brian Takita

You can specify HTML attributes in the ''options'' parameter:
form_tag(url_for_options = {}, options = {}, *parameters_for_url)

Thanks Biro...

How about the form_remote_tag?

I only see the argument options...
form_remote_tag(options = {})

When I do this:

form_remote_tag(
:id=>''something'',
...
)

It thinks the ID means the ID in the url rather than the form''s html
id.
What am I doing wrong? :)

Thank you,
Brian

Aha...

I think I got it.

form_remote_tag(
:html=> {:id=>''something''},
...
)

will result in
<from id="something" ...

Thank you Biro.

One question...
Is the hash passed to the :html key the same as the options argument
in the form_tag method?

If so, maybe that could be indicated in the documentation.

Can''t do it...
wrong number of arguments (2 for 1)

form_remote_tag expects one Hash.

Maybe the interface is different from form_tag because there is the
javascript and html functionality (for browsers with JS disabled) in
the form_remote_tag?

As a confirmation, the :html key to the Hash argument is the same as
the options argument in the form_tag method.

Hello Brian !

Can you update the documentation and submit a patch, or simply send me, 
off-list, the revised text and I will make a patch.

Thanks for your sleuthing !
