I have a view calling a helper method is_disabled like this :
<%= form.input :company, :label => "Company name", :input_html
=>
{ :disabled => is_disabled } %>
How can I determine in my helper which element (here :company) is
calling the is_disabled method without having to pass a parameter ?
Thx by advance for your help.

It is the view code that is calling it. Colin -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.

I have a lot of elements form calling this method (and the method has to know which element is calling to react) so I wonder is it''s possible to know this without having to pas a parameter.

I think it is unlikely that that is possible. Depending on how the Ruby interpreter (if that is the right word) works, it may not even have looked at the first parameter when it calls is_disabled (other than to check the syntax). There may be some way but I doubt it. Looking at it from another point of view, what is it that is (or isn''t) disabled? It seems like an odd method to be in a view helper. By the way, please don''t top post, it makes it difficult to follow the thread. Thanks.

It seems like an odd method to be in a view helper.Thank you for your reply. I will use a paramater as I thought at the first time. What about your second remark : my method "is_disabled" is located in the view helper and takes care to enable / disable the input element regarding the rights of the current user. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.
