[Rails] Auto drop list: Create a form professional or easy?
Hi all, I''m searching for a method to dynamically build a form. ( false/true field in the DB should automatically be a droplist) If you use "_form.rhtml" it works easy, with only this code in your partial, but uses the extra file, and doesn''t feel profi and flexible. <%= start_form_tag :action => ''create_product'' %> <%= render :partial => ''form'' %> <%= submit_tag ''Edit'' %> <%= end_form_tag %> If you do it like below, it looks really good and feels flexible, but that won''t auto-create the droplists. <%= start_form_tag :action=> "create_product" %> <table class="tablehack"> <tr><th>Field</th><th>Contents</th></tr> <% for column in Product.content_columns %> <tr class="ListLine<%= cycle("0","1") %>"> <td><%= column.human_name %>:</td> <td><%= text_field ''product'', column.name %></td> </tr> <% end %> </table> <input type="submit" value="Save" /> <%= end_form_tag %> Any suggestions of you guru''s are most welcome!!!!
