Hi all All my forms should look the same, so I think always putting the right div etc. tags around them is a violation of the DRY principle. Until now my forms look like that: <div class="text_field"> <label for="news_item_subject">Subject:</label> <%= text_field "news_item", "subject" %> </div> Now I want the default

Hello, Most of the form helpers are build using Object / Method without the possibility of using a method parameter (as I know ...) text_field(object_name, method, options = {}) how do you solve this problem ? -> (I did my own helper and generate the html ... well I think there is a better way;-) -> do I have to overide text_field(object_name, method, parameters {}, options = {})

I have a date where the year range is more then I want to define in a select_date scaffold generated year range. My idea was to have the year entered as a text field and the month and day using something like: <%= select_month @person.born,:prefix => :person ,:field_name => "born(2i)" %> <%= select_day @person.born,:prefix => :person , :field_name =>

Is there a decent way to add a field to a form before posting it? I haven''t tried using HPricot manipulations just yet, since I can''t ever find really solid docs on hpricot.... Form#[]= doesn''t work because it first searches only pre-existing fields. I''m investigating how to write a patch now. But I thought maybe someone here might have an idea.

(this is my first post on the ruby forum. If this is not the right place for this type of question please let me know). Ajax question I have a checkbox that toggles the visibility of another element (a text field) with the code: --- <p><label for="checkbox">Appear!</label> <%= check_box :object_name, :method, :onClick =>

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

Here''s what I''ve got: <% @fields.each do |field_name| %> <tr> <td> <%= field_name.humanize %> </td> <td> <% unless field_name =~ /_id$/ %> <%= form.text_field field_name, :size => 40 %> <% else %> <%= select(:vendor, field_name, State.find(:all, :order

I have AMOUNT field that ActiveRecord maps to Float. Then I use text_field helper to generate text inputs on forms. Helper takes model object and attribute name and does not provide any formatting abilities, thus 2.40 is shown as 2.4 which is fine with floats but does not look good with currency. I have worked around this issue by adding amount_f attribute to the model that returns formatted

Hi, I need to set up an initial value from controller.

Hi, I''ve created some extensions to script.aculo.us InPlaceEditor, allowing the use of either server-driven, or local autocompletion. I''ve also created new helper methods in Rails for this functionality. My question is, is there any interest that I package this and make it available as a plugin, or something like that?

I''m trying to get a collection_select generated Drop-down box to display two fields from a table (first name & last name); however, I am having trouble concatenating the symbols. It appears as though any code I put in the 5th argument for collection_select is processed prior to executing the collection_select method. The code executes successfully with 1 symbol in the 5th

Community, I have been putting off implementing a Date selector for too long. Tonight, I finally put it in. I made the choice to go with the datebox engine. Once I got it installed and working, I realized I didn''t like the way it required you to call it. Example: <% @dateField = model.date %> <%= date_box %> or... <% @dateField1 = model.date %> <%=
