I am using the form_tag_helper to create a form, but I want to give it
an ID so I can style the elements within the form. I currently have
the following:
<% form_tag :controller => ''my_controller'',
:action =>
''my_action'' do %>
<input class="actionButton" type="submit"
value="Submit" />
<% end %>
I tried this:
<% form_tag :id => ''xyz'', :controller =>
''my_controller'', :action => ''my_action''
do %>
<input class="actionButton" type="submit"
value="Submit" />
<% end %>
This compiles and runs ok with no errors, but it treats the ID= as a
parameter for my URL - not what I want. Is there a way to use
form_tag to generate HTML similar to this:
<form id="xyz" action="/my_directory/my_action"
method="post">
Thanks,
Steve J.

I did try with class= instead of id=, but I get the exact same result On Feb 4, 11:01 pm, Phlip <phlip2...-Re5JQEeQqe8AvxtiuMwx3w@public.gmane.org> wrote:> > I am using the form_tag_helper to create a form, but I want to give it > > an ID so I can style the elements within the form.

Thanks everyone for all the help . . .
When I tried it like this, I got a compile error:
<% form_tag ( {:controller => ''my_controller'', :action
=>
''my_action'' }, {:id => ''xyz''}) do %>
When I removed the second set of braces { }, like this, it works!!!
<% form_tag ( {:controller => ''my_controller'', :action
=>
''my_action'' }, :id => ''xyz'') do %>
Thanks again, I appreciate all the suggestions!

I just added the extra braces back in so I could see the error again, but now it does not complain - I must have had something extra or something missing. So I guess it works both ways.
