Hi all,
can someone explain to me how the options for helper text_field_tag
supposed to be written. I really tried a bunch of stuff without success.
For example I need a field with id "query", so I write
<%= text_field_tag :query %>
which works fine.
But what if I want the field only 5 characters big? I tried among other
<%= text_field_tag :query , options=>{:size=5} %>
which doesnt work.
Any clues?
thanks,
Kleas

Actually I just found it. Its <%= text_field_tag :query, nil, :size => 5 %> strangely though if I take out ",nil" it errors. -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.

<...>> <%= text_field_tag :query, nil, :size => 5 %>There is nothing strange in that. Syntax is text_field_tag(name, value = nil, options = {}) so it expects value as the second parameter. Until named parameters are supported you cannot have third parameters without specifying second . Regards, Rimantas -- http://rimantas.com/
