Two buttons on one line

Can't figure this one out: I'd like two buttons on the same line.

If I do this:

<%= button_to "New", :action => "new" %><%= button_to "old", :action => "old" %>

I get two lines (naturally.) But I'd like them side by side. It must be simple.

Thanks so much for any help!

`view source` is your friend: 'button_to' wraps a couple of inputs in a div inside a form, both the latter being normally block elements. Ergo, adjust your CSS to taste. :slight_smile:

hassan is right put the buttons in a div id="buttons holder" , and give it the right length in the stylesteet of that html. next pass a css parameter in the first button_to metheod like :class => "button1", and then to the second one :class=>"button2"(more reference at http://railsapi.com/doc/rails-v2.3.5/ ) in the stylesheet give both buttons the float:left propriety, again you have to adjust the height and lenghon of the "buttons holder div"

it shoul do the trick :slight_smile:

hope it mane any difference in you app :slight_smile: and pls let me know if it did or didn't

all the best, radu
