Hi there everyone,
How would I go about adding the dojoType to a rails text_area form helper i.e.
<%= f.text_area :content %>
Regards, Schalk
Not 100% sure since I've never tried Rails + Dojo, but as I recall don't most of the tags allow for additional HTML content to be specified as a Hash? If so, couldn't you pass the dojoType attribute and value to that?
As I said I've never tried this, so it might not work depending on how exactly the internals of Rails parses the values provided

I Wayne,
Thank for the feedback. Yes, I saw that all the form helpers do show a options = {} argument but when I try to do:
<%= f.text_area :content, options = {dooType="someDojoType"} %>
I get a compile error. Can you show me what you mean by specifying additional HTML content as a Hash?
Kind Regards, Schalk Neethling
<%= f.text_area :content, :dooType => "someDojoType", :id => "element_id" %>

Ummmm I think he wanted the dooType attribute set on the text area
tax, not sent in through the params attribute (ie on the key-val
mappings of the URL line).
that would be
<%= f.text_area(:content, {:dooType => "someDojoType"}) %>
Here "content" would be the attribute of the object passed into the
form object "f".
Is this what you wanted?

<%= f.text_area(:content, {:dooType => "someDojoType"}) %>
and
<%= f.text_area(:content, :dooType => "someDojoType") %>
are the same thing. If the last argument is a hash, there is no need to include the hash tags. Matter of personal preference, but I prefer it without the explicit hash tags when they are not needed.

Hi there,
In the end it was so simple I could kick myself: <%= f.text_area :content, {dojoType = "dijit.Editor} %>
