[Form] Method POST & PUT problem

rubyonrails-talk

Hello,

I have a form that should be a POST method, but Rails insist to put a hidden field "_method" that has the value "put" does anyone knows why?

Thanks,

David Sousa

Controller: -------------------------------   def new     @user = @current_user   end

Since @user already exists in the database (you assign an existing record @current_user to it) and is not a new_record?, Rails assumes you want to update the record aka a PUT request. Probably just adding :method => :post as a parameter will do the trick.

Thanks Peter, just adding :method => :post worked.

Let me ask one more thing, just after a submit the form, the firefox open a dialog box asking me each of users that is in a list that I want to change the password. Actually does not matter each you pick, the user that you are logon on the site gets the pass changed.

Tks again.
