require 'cgi' require 'action_view/helpers/tag_helper' module ActionView module Helpers # Provides a number of methods for creating form tags that doesn't rely on an Active Record object assigned to the template like # FormHelper does. Instead, you provide the names and values manually. # # NOTE: The HTML options disabled, readonly, and multiple can all be treated as booleans. So specifying # :disabled => true will give disabled="disabled". module FormTagHelper # Starts a form tag that points the action to an url configured with url_for_options just like # ActionController::Base#url_for. The method for the form defaults to POST. # # ==== Options # * :multipart - If set to true, the enctype is set to "multipart/form-data". # * :method - The method to use when submitting the form, usually either "get" or "post". # If "put", "delete", or another verb is used, a hidden input with name _method # is added to simulate the verb over post. # * A list of parameters to feed to the URL the form will be posted to. # # ==== Examples # form_tag('/posts') # # =>
# # form_tag('/posts/1', :method => :put) # # => # # form_tag('/upload', :multipart => true) # # => # # <% form_tag '/posts' do -%> #
<%= submit_tag 'Save' %>
