form inside a form

Hi

     I have a main form like below

<%= start_form_tag ({:action => ''update_sd_ticket'',
:method =>
''post'',:id =>@sd_ticket.id})%>
<table>
<tr>
    <th width=""><label for="" >SD
Ticket</label></th>
    <td colspan="" width=""><%=h @sd_ticket.number 
%></td>
</tr>
</table>
<ul id="sdmaintab" class="shadetabs">
<li><a href="#"
rel="view_sd_resolution_details">Resolution</a></li>
</ul>

<div id="sddetails" class="tabcontent">
<%= render :partial=>''service_desk_part/edit_sd_details''
%>
</div>
<div id="view_sd_resolution_details"
class="tabcontent">
<%= render :partial =>
''service_desk_part/view_sd_resolution_details'' %>
</div>

<%= end_form_tag %>


AND INSIDE THE PARTIAL FILE view_sd_resolution_details (which is
completely inside a div)a link_to_remote is there which replaces this
div and the file define_sd_resolution_ui is called ..(This is working)
and in that the following form is there.

<%= form_remote_tag :url    => { :action =>
''sd_resolution_save'',
                               :id => @sd_ticket.id,
:sd_resolution_id=>@sd_resolution_id, :page => params[:page]},
                               :class => ''itilform''%>

<tr>
    <th width="25%"><label for=""
>Resolution</label></th>
    <td width="75%"><%= text_area("sd_resolution",
"resolution", "cols"
=> 80, "rows" => 5) %></td>
  </tr>
<%= end_form_tag>


BUT THIS FORM ACTION DOES NOT WORK..HOW CAN I OVERCOME THIS?

Re: form inside a form

taken from w3c (http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-html32):

"FORM fill-out forms
    Requires start and end tags. This element is used to define a 
fill-out form for processing by HTTP servers. The attributes are ACTION, 
METHOD and ENCTYPE. Form elements can''t be nested."


--> you can''t put a <form> tag inside a <form> ancestor
tag , and that
is pretty much what you are doing. you have to seperate the two.

Re: form inside a form

Sijo:

This is the very same issue that you posted earlier:
http://groups.google.com/group/rubyonrails-talk/browse_thread/thread/86adead2460b6ffe/cf2b5a0a344c07a5?lnk=gst&q=Sijo+form+partial#cf2b5a0a344c07a5

I don''t want to discourage you from using Rails, but please do slow
down a bit and study what you are working with.  You are posting a lot
of questions and many of the answers share the same or similar root
causes.

Re: form inside a form

Handle the issue of subforms you need to read up on the API regarding 
the fields_for method. See ActionView::Helpers::FormHelper.

Re: form inside a form

Hi Sijo,

Watch the following Railscasts that might give you ideas on  how to  
solve your problem:

Episode 16: Virtual Attributes
Complex Forms Part 1
Complex Forms Part 2
Complex Forms Part 3

Another trick is to have multiple forms but with submit buttons  
targeting a specific form. i.e.

<form action="/action" id="action_edit"
method="post"
name="action_edit">
	<fieldset>
		<legend><span>Details</span></legend>
		<ol>
			<li>
				<label for="action_title">title :</label>
				<input id="action_title" name="action[title]"
type="text"
value="" />
			</li>
		</ol>
	</fieldset>
</form>										

<form action="/another_action" method="post"
name="another_action_edit">
	<li>
		<label for="another_action_title">title :</label>
		<input id="another_action_title"  
name="another_action[another_action_title]" type="text"
/>
	</li>
	<li>
		<div id="another_action_button">
			<div class="buttons">
				<button type="submit">Upload</button>
			</div>															
		</div>
	</li>
</form>

<!-- NOTE: Below we have a submit button that will submit the top  
form, while the form in the middle has it''s own submit button. As far  
as the user is concerned, he is none the wiser that it is actually two  
forms -->
<div class="buttons">
	<button type="submit"  
onclick="document.forms[''action_edit''].submit();">
</div>

Hope this was of help...

Cheers,

Maruis Marais
