I''m playing around with Markaby and I decided to write a little blog app. I''m running into issues with forms however. If I use form_for the output of the form gets swallowed. For example: form_for :article, @article do |f| f.text_field :title f.check_box :published f.text_area :description f.text_field :pub_date f.text_area :content end gets rendered as an empty form tag. The above code of course works fine in an rhtml file (with appropriate erb tags). Oddly form_tag works fine in Markaby: form_tag :action => ''create'' text_field ''art...

Anyone know why my text_area field is being prefilled with "empty_clob()" instead of simply being empty like I would expect? I''m using Oracle 10g so I suspect it''s coming from the oci8 driver somehow? Here''s the code: <% form_for :user do |f| -%> <%= f.text_area :notes, :rows =&...

Hi, I am trying to colour a text_area input field, including the scrollbar (2-dimensional field). I was able to change the colour of a button associated with a ''submit_tag'' by adding a :class and defining properties in my CSS file. Is something similar required?

When a user clicks "edit", I say, in the new thread form: <% form.text_area :text, :value => params[:text] %> params[:text] = the text in the thread which the user wants to edit. It works fine most of the time, but if I made a new thread and had linebreaks, clicking edit fails. New form: text: sdfjksdfj sdfjsdf sdfsdf Those linebreaks are causing some trouble! Wh...

...is smaller than a text_field :size=>20 on Internet Explorer. They are the same on Firefox and Safari. makes my login box look silly. the same can be seen on the login screen for this forum. the password box is a little shorter on IE6. more annoying however is I have a view with two large text_areas sided-by-side and a text_field above them both spanning the full width of both text_areas. If I size everything to look nice on Safari and Firefox, then on IE it looks as though the text_field is too small, only making it about 2/3rds of the way across. Its not a major problem, but saying th...
