Rails - Jan 2009 - how to prevent a newline after a button_to

How do you prevent a newline after a button_to.

I thought <%= button_to blabla -%> was meant to do it, but it
didn''t I
think I got it generated <div> tags around the button code.

How do you do it?

thanks

This is something that gets tossed around from time to time.  The
official (barely) agreed upon stance is:

"The div is for HTML4.01/XHTML1.0 strict compliance. An input can only
be contained by one of "p", "h1", "h2",
"h3", "h4", "h5", "h6", "div",
"pre", "address", "fieldset", "ins" or
"del". "  [ http://dev.rubyonrails.org/ticket/10422
]

But this annoys me too.  There are a few ways of handling this.
button_to creates a form tag with a class of "button_to".  So in your
stylesheet, you should be able to do something
with .button_to .form .div and remove the spacing.  (I haven''t tried
this myself yet, and I''m not a css whiz, so YMMV).

If you care less about strict compliance, and want to get rid of the
div tags totally, then the following in you application.rb will work:

module Helpers
    module UrlHelper
      def button_to(name, options = {}, html_options = nil)

        html_options = (html_options || {}).stringify_keys
        convert_boolean_attributes!(html_options, %w( disabled ))

        if confirm = html_options.delete("confirm")
          html_options["onclick"] = "return #
{confirm_javascript_function(confirm)};"
        end
        options = {:only_path=>false}.update(options)
        url = options.is_a?(String) ? options : url_for(options)
        name ||= url

        html_options.symbolize_keys!
        tag(:input, html_options.merge({
          :type => "button", :value => name,
          :onclick => (html_options[:onclick] ? "#{html_options
[:onclick]}; " : "") +
"window.location.href=''#{url_for(options)}'';"
        }))

      end
    end
  end
