Hi ActionView::Helpers::FormHelper methods (e.g. #text_field, #check_box...) take object_name as an argument. From this argument they infer a name that is supposed to contains the reference to the relevant object. I can''t see why the FormHelper methods were designed that way. Compared to simply passing them a reference,...

Hello, I don''t understand how formhelper works (In a Framework point of view) ... For example if I use the chek_box formhelper 1/ check_box("puppy", "gooddog", {}, "yes", "no") will call @puppy.gooddog BUT, how it is possible since the check_box has only a string parameters not instance object ?...

Hi, Is it possible to use the ActionView::Helpers::FormHelper.text_field with an instance variable instead of a model. e.g. In the controller: def meth @value = ''hi there'' end In view: <%= text_field ''value'', nil %> It doesn''t work with what is above (doesn''t like the nil) and produces very...

I am wondering why is in creating text fields with form_helper used value_before_type_cast instead of attribute value for field value? I set rails enviroment so date fields are in european format (dd.mm.yyyy) and would like to have same format in forms, but because of value_before_type_cast is called, form fields are filled with ''yyyy-mm-dd'' or timestamp integer, etc.

I''m rendering a partial using a collection: <%=render(:partial=> ''record'', :collection => @records)%> Inside the partial, I''m attempting to create a new form for each row, generating elements like the following example: <%= text_field "record", "name" %> However, though my objects are fully populated, these form tags

When I look at the docs, password_field seems to take 3 arguments. So when I ''play around" with things and I attempt to pass three arguments to password_field ...

Hello, Is it possible to fill the textarea content when using the text_area function ? Why there is 2 , + or - similar class : FormHelper and FormTagHelper ?

It seems like the form helpers, such as "link_to" and "check_box" really slows down rendering when you have hundreds of rows. Has anyone else noticed this?? Is there a way to go around it apart from typing the raw html? -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.

...ss ''fieldsWithError'', which is not good practice in my eyes. Adding a class ''error'' to the field would be much nicer. My solution to the problem: build your own FormBuilder. Funny enough, i found no (nice) possibility to switch error wrapping off while using the FormHelper methods. As error_wrapping is a method in InstanceTag (and not of FormHelper), it is pretty hard to have a FormBuilder change its behaviour. One possibility is to define def initialize(object_name, object, template, options, proc) ActionView::Base.field_error_proc = lambda do |html_tag, inst...

Hello, Is it possible to specify a HTML ID with the form_tag / form_remote_tag methods of the FormHelper?

...Ajax.Updater to the onSubmit action of the form. The validation.js also attempts to bind to the onSubmit of the form. The logic that is needed is if( valid.validate() ) { ...Ajax.Updater... } where valid is the validation object How can I add this logic to the onSubmit that is added by the FormHelper in the rails framework? Alternatively, is anyone else using this validation library for client-side validation in conjunction with rails and has a better method?
