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, the current way seems too complicated and an invitation to problems

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 ? 2/ if you create your own helper which generate

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 strange results replacing nil with

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.

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/.

Hi, i have some issues with the default rails error wrapping. It wraps errors in a div with class ''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.

Hello, I am attempting to use validation.js from http://tetlaw.id.au/view/blog/really-easy-field-validation-with-prototyp e/ with form_remote_tag.

The logic that is needed is if( valid.validate() ) { ...Ajax.Updater... } where valid

I had posted earlier about ''silent failure of a controller'', what seemed to be an intractable problem where I was getting failure of a particular action in a controller while others worked. What was irritating was that there were no useful messages. Nothing to the browser, nothing in logs, and even the breakpoints wouldn''t hit. Finally by a process of elemination I found

Hi, I want to extend formbuilder to make it output a lable (I know about labeled_form_helper made by technoweenie), my own formating, and a couple of extra tags inside the form attribute.
