Is it possible to use checkbox_tag outside a form? I''ve put it in a view and it renders but I get nothing back in the params hash. Is there a way to get the value? Like maybe with some JS onsubmit to populate the params hash myself? Thanks, Bill -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed... URL:

in the mean time i am using a checkbox like this : <input type="checkbox" name="var[car]" <%= var.car ? ''checked'' : '''' unless @var == nil %> /> but i am sure there is something better than this in rails like <%= checkbox_tag ''var'', ''car'', :checked => true %> but this is not

With form_tag submit buttons I use the " :disable_with => ''button label while processing'' " option so that visitors with slow connections aren''t able to submit forms twice. How do I do the same thing with button_to? I''ve got several pages where there are multiple forms on the page being updated with Ajax so I can''t wrap the whole

I''m getting a really strange result using RJS page.replace_html and wonder if anybody knows anything that could help me figure it out. I''m rendering a partial in a loop in edit.rhtml that puts a set of <div>s on the page, each <div> containing a checkbox_tag with an associated observe_field and a text_field_tag also with an associated observe_field. When the

Hiall, I want to give the action of a form an additional parameters but can''t figure out how to do it. My code looks like this <%= start_form_tag :action => ''create'', next_step => true %> <%= render :partial => ''user_form'' %> <%= render :partial => ''community_form'' %> <%= submit_tag

I''m working on a RESTful app, and I''ve hit a snag. Here''s a simplified example of the problem. (Excuse me if this example code isn''t strictly correct; I''m typing from memory.) Suppose I have a table which models a simple counter. It has a single column, "count": class CreateCounters < ActiveRecord::Migration def self.up

I''m trying to use button_to and have it use an image in place of the submit button. I had figured it would work the same as link_to like so: button_to(image_tag("editicon", :size => "16x16", :border => 0), :action => ''edit'', :id => person.id) but this instead displays the image code as the button name. Surely there is a simple way to

Hi, I have a bit of a problem with a form in rails. Well, the problem really is me not fully understanding the mechanism of the form_tag, so here''s what i try to do: The idea is to present a some edit fields for some @product attributes and then present a table showing the @product.pieces (pieces for every @product) and to include a "Edit Piece" and "Delete Piece"

I notice that Form.Element.getValue() takes a single element or id and returns the element name and value. How does one handle getting the values of checkboxes and/or radios which share the same control name, save getting them one at a time? <fieldset> <legend>Medical History</legend> <input name="history_illness" type="checkbox"

When i use button_to or link_to, i can easily request a confirmation dialog with (for example) <%= button_to "Delete this story", { :controller => "story", :action => "delete", :id => @story.id }, :confirm => "Delete story: are you sure?" %> I also want to do this for the submit buttons on my forms, which are

Hi, I have the following code working in a rails 3 view, but it is unfortunately not pure rails code! <% @filter1 = "tr.show1,tr.show2" %> <% @filter2 = "tr.show1" %> <% @filter3 = "tr.show2" %> <form> <p> <input type="checkbox" value=<%=@filter1%> onclick="$ (this).is('':checked'')

Hi all, After many days of struggling, I have a multi-model form with ajax elements more or less working, but I''m hitting a wall with a few bugs that I can''t figure out. Guidance would be very much appreciated. I''m using the Ryan Bates technique from Advanced Rails recipes to dynamically add and remove elements on a multi-model form.

Hi, I wonder why scaffolding uses a link_to tag for the destroy links. Seems like these should be POST requests with button_to. The Rails book dedicates pages 335-337 to this very issue. Peter

Hello all, I''m using the following _form.rhtml layout for a number of pages, including edit record and new record (which each has it''s own definition in the controller). I''d like to display a different author form field depending on which page they are using. I''d rather keep using _form.rhtml as a layout template, instead of customizing each separate page.

I would really appreciate some help with changing a link_to_remote call to a button of some sort. Here''s a little background. On the page there are two <div>s. One is a form that lets the visitor enter items. The second <div> is where the entered items get displayed, each in it''s own item <div>. Each item <div> has two <span>s. The first one

I''m trying to implement a bunch of checkboxes whose value I need to use to process more code without updating the db. This is my code to for the checkbox in my view input type=checkbox id=<%=search.name%>_selected name=<%=search.name%>[selected]> I guess my question is, when I''m back in the controller, how do I get at the actual value (checked or unchecked)? It

OK, I have a routing problem, that seems to be working in the console, and with rake routes but not in the app. I have people that have nested tasks, like so: ------------------------------- # routes.rb map.resources :people do |person| person.resources :phone_notes person.resources :documents person.resources :tasks, :member => {:complete => :put} end map.resources :tasks, :member

Hi, I have a page containing 3 views (2 are partials). One of the partials needs to have a button that will clear a table called "messages" in the database. I can put a button like this "<%= button_to "Clear Messages", :action => ''clear_messages'' %>" and have the controller do "Message.delete_all". But the problem is that the

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

Hi, I have a form in rhtml. Now I have 2 buttons indside that form. Clicking on the first button action will be ''create'' & on second button action will be ''delete''. How to do this? Thanx Prash -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.
