F.submit calls #destroy

Rails
#1

Hi group,
i have a rather weird problem - if i use f.submit on my form, the
controller calls #destroy.
i can workaround that if i use button_to “update”, :controller
=> :mycontroller, :action => :update, but i don’t really want that,
and i want to get this issue fixed.

anyone ever encountered this bug and found a solution?

routes are absolutely okay.

greetings

Hi.

Could you post all the code of your form?

#3

it’s rather complex, but here it is:

it belongs to a polymorphic association with “resource”. luckily, the
other polymorphic children of resource still work fine, it’s just with
this one. the partials are just for keeping things organized, none of
these does anything terrible.

i’d be glad if someone was able to help!

What do you see in the log when you click submit?

Also when odd things are happening it is always a good idea to check
the web page for valid html. Copy the complete html source from the
browser and paste it into the w3c html validator.

Do any of those partials render forms? Nesting forms is a definite bad
idea.
