Hello! The many answers of this question are not appropriated for me. What is the BIG difference between form_for and form_tag? In several web pages, i read like below... form_for method is used for specificated wrapped model object, and form_tag is just output the <form> tag. It''s not clear to me... Isn''t it equal that source using form_for or form_tag? Please, any feedback to me. Thanks!

Re: What is difference between form_for and form_tag?
You would use form_for for a specific model when you want to create a new row, like this <% form_for :person, @person, :url => { :action => "update" } do |f| %> then in here you can use the f object to create input field. First name: <%= f.text_field :first_name %> Last name : <%= f.text_field :last_name %> Biography : <%= f.text_area :biography %> <% end %> Form_tag create basically just <form ...></form>, can be used to create multi form or whatever speciale thing you want to create. <% form_tag ''/posts'' do -%> <%= text_field_tag "post", "first_name" %> <% end -%> -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.
