Hi.. new to the whole Rails thing so this may sound aweful strange
but I cannot find any documentation supporting or correcting what I am
trying to do..
I would like to have 2 separate form_tag''s displayed on a single
page. They both have varying function so my thinking is 2 separate
form_tag''s (am I wrong).
My problem is when the page renders it only renders 1 form but housing
the varu=ious components of each form_tag (eg. input boxes, submit
button etc). There are 2 submit buttons for each of the functions Im
wanting to perfom but because they are caught up under the one
form_tag, it doesnt matter which one I press, only the one action is
ever performed..
As mentioned, very new so not sure what I should be doing..
<%= form_tag(:controller => ''public'', :action =>
''send_login'') %>
<%= error_messages_for ''user'' %>
<table>
<tr>
<th>user name :</th>
<td><%= text_field(:user, :username) %></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<th>password :</th>
<td><%= password_field(:user, :password) %></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<th></th>
<td><%= submit_tag(''Login'') %> |
<%= link_to(''new
venue'', :controller => ''venue'', :action =>
''new'') %></td>
</tr>
</table>
<%= form_tag %>
<!-- User feedback section shown below -->
<h2>Commenter Login</h2>
<%= form_tag(''send_feedback'', :controller =>
''public'', :action =>
''send_fedback'') %>
<%= error_messages_for ''temp'' %>
<table>
<tr>
<th>venue code :</th>
<td><%= text_field(:comments, :restaurant_id)
%></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<th></th>
<td><%= submit_tag(''Feedback'')
%></td>
</tr>
</table>
<%= form_tag %>

I should have added.... Using Rails 2.0.2. I know this works with previous versions with the start_form_tag and end_form_tag as I have seen code that does this. However, with 2.0+, this seems to have gone the way of the dodo and I cannot figure out a way of doing it... And clearly these form_tag''s are NOT nested as I know HTML does not support this. My gut feel is this should be something simple and I am just missing something very basic...

Re: multiple form_tag on page
2 things: 1. You need to ''end'' the form_tag. 2. Blocks (that is, when there''s a ''do'' and an ''end'') no longer have "=" in the Erb tags. In other words: <% form_tag do %> ... <% end %> Always check out http://api.rubyonrails.com and search for the method you''re having trouble with On Jan 21, 6:23 pm, toshach <tosh...-Re5JQEeQqe8AvxtiuMwx3w@public.gmane.org> wrote:> I should have added.... > > Using Rails 2.0.2.

Ahh - that was so simple - thank you very much.. I did look through the api documentation but admittedly was manically skimming it instead of taking it in and must have overlooked that pesky little ''='' sign On Jan 22, 11:44 am, "stephen.ce...-Re5JQEeQqe8AvxtiuMwx3w@public.gmane.org" <stephen.ce...-Re5JQEeQqe8AvxtiuMwx3w@public.gmane.org> wrote:> 2 things: > > 1.
