Thank you to everybody that has helped me since I signed up. I''m flying along thanks to you. I have a question about the FormTagHelper "start_form_tag": I''ve been trying to figure out how to get Rails to output a "name" attribute for my form so I can hook in a Javascript to focus on a field inside of it on load, but it doesn''t look like I can do it. I''m not sure how to read the...

I must be missing something when it comes to the parameter differences between form FormOptionsHelper select and FormTagHelper select_tag. Code that follows, works perfectly - <%= f.select :unit, units_to_select(@product), :size=>"20"%> The following code, does not. The helper function never even seems to be called. <%= select_tag "unit", units_to_select(@product) %> Why would this...

hi there, I want every form in the site to add a hidden_field, basically I want them to always submit the I18n.locale, I''ve tried to alias form_tag_html method of ActionView::Helpers::FormTagHelper like this: # in #{MY_APP_ROOT}/lib/action_view/helpers/form_tag_helper.rb module ActionView::Helpers::FormTagHelper def form_tag_html_with_locale(html_options) form = form_tag_html_without_locale(html_options) form.safe_contact(hidden_field_tag(''locale'', I18n.locale)...

What is the rails idiom for submit buttons on forms? All other field types have helpers, but button_to creates its own form, so should not be used. I''ve looked in "Agile Web Dev. with Rails" but can''t see what I should do instead. Is this "difficult" because it runs counter to AJAX type forms? And, related, is there a way to ensure that hitting return in

...on 3 seperate machines (work, home and laptop) which I use for development (all running Debian Sarge). While on the subject I would much appreciate if some one can clarify for me the difference between FormHelper<http://api.rubyonrails.com/classes/ActionView/Helpers/FormHelper.html>and the FormTagHelper<http://api.rubyonrails.com/classes/ActionView/Helpers/FormTagHelper.html>. Ihave read the docs a few times as well as the Agile book, and may be I am just to tired, it does not make sense to me. It seems like both require me to provide names and values and both behave much the same way!? T...

Hello, i have the application set up on my radrails. I was looking at the view generated by scaffold and i see a bunch of names, after looking up internet i found that they are helpers and generate the HTML for us.

Hi, I''m wondering if there is any way to specify the id of a form tag with the start_form_tag helper. I''ve tried playing around with ", id=>"marginForm" " and also inclosing both the action variable and id variable in curley brackets. The Rails API doesn''t off much help for a n00b like me. It''s probably really easy but any help you guys

I just put this up on the wiki, and thought I''d share in case it''s useful to anyone else. This is handy if you don?t want to wrap your input elements inside a div when an error occurs, but instead want to add some sort of CSS style to fields with errors: ActionView::Base.field_error_proc = Proc.new do |html_tag, instance| msg = instance.error_message error_style =

I''m using Rails 1.1.x and it looks like the check_box form helper expects me to provide and object and method so it can determine if the checkbox should be checked or not. I''m having a couple of issues with this. note: I''m using UserEngine and adding a HABTM so that: class User < ActiveRecord::Base has_and_belongs_to_many :foos end class foo <

...;'ve seen now that the _form.rhtml generated by script/scaffold is populated by <%= text_field ''model'', ''field'' %> without _tag! but only text_field_tag is to be found in the 1.1.2 documentation.. (like in the rest of Module ActionView::Helpers::FormTagHelper there is _tag) I''ve tried to use <%= select instead of <% select_tag and it works AND the first one generates: <select id="tesi_relatore_id" name="tesi[relatore_id]"> and the other <select id="tesi_controrelatore_id" name="tesi_co...
