I have a very simple procedure that I am trying to implement.
I have the following code in my controller:
<%= text_field(:invoice, :id, :size => 20, :onkeydown =>
%Q($(''button-id'').action = ''#{url_for(:controller
=> ''invoice'', :action =>
''edit'')}?id='' + $F(''invoice_id'');))
%>
<%= button_to (''Goto Invoice #'', {:id =>
''invoice_id'', :action =>
:edit}, {:id => ''button-id''}) %>
(Thanks to the help of Francois, btw).
I want to simply have the user enter and invoice # and press the button that
will then show the selected invoice in with the edit action.
However, I need to be able to set the form id that is automatically
generated by the button_to method to use the above javascript.
Does anyone know how to do this?
Or is there an easier way to accomplish my goal here?
Thanks,
~damon

That's disallowed. If you are not nesting forms, then the following should work: <%= start_form_tag :controller => 'invoice', :action => 'edit' %> <label>Invoice No: <%= text_field 'invoice', 'id' %></label> <%= submit_tag 'Go' %> <%= end_form_tag %> That should do the trick.
