Hi,
I am using a FormBuilder to help with DRY-out my views where forms are displayed in tables. However most examples of this seem to use the same approach of using a view helper to combine the call to the remote_form_for (etc...) method with the encapsulating table tags.
Doing it this way you end up with <table><form></form></table> which isn't strictly valid and which Firefox enforces although IE doesn't. Hence everything displays okay in IE but not Firefox.
Has anyone used a technique to get around this? Does it involve overriding the remote_form_for (as used in this case) helper like I do with the other form helper methods, somehow inserting <table> tags inside the generated <form> tags?
Form helper method used in place of basic remote_form_for helper:
def tabular_remote_form_for(name, *args, &proc)
# concat("<table class='style3'>", proc.binding) options = args.last.is_a?(Hash) ? args.pop : {} options = options.merge(:builder => TabularFormBuilder) args = (args << options) remote_form_for(name, *args, &proc) # concat("</table>", proc.binding)
end
...and in the view
<% tabular_remote_form_for :product, :url => product_path(@product), :html => { :method => :put } do |form| %>
<table class="style3"> <%= render :partial => 'form', :locals => { :form => form } %> </table>
<% end %>
Thanks, Andrew
