hmmm still not 100% sure what you mean…does this example help?

If you had a file called register.rhtml and a model called user…

<% form_for :user do |form| %>

Screen name: <%=form.text_field :screen_name%>
<%=submit_tag "Register!", :class => "submit" %>

<% end %>

In the controller in the “register” method (I think ruby takes the
controller method name from the name of the .rhtml file) you can then
receive the form using “params[:user]” and then do @user =
User.new(params[:user]) to create a new user…

Does this help? Or am I off track?

Hmm…Sorry if my question is not clear. What I was trying to do is to
get the form’s id, and try to submit it using a link outside the form.

Example:

<% form_for :user, :url => { :action => :save_user}, :html => { :id =>
“id_of_form” } do |form| %>

Screen name: <%=form.text_field :screen_name%>
<%= end %>

<%=link_to_function “Save”, “myform.submit();” %>

I want to ask is there anyway to get id_of_form which is the form’s id ?
Correct me if any part of my code is wrong. Is it possible to submit
form with the submit link outside of the form?

Thanks

Hi,

What I want to ask is if it is possible to get the id of a form, assign
it to something like :id_of_form, then print it out using puts
params[:id_of_form]

Thanks

<%= end %>

<%=link_to_function “Save”, “myform.submit();” %>

hmm how about:

<%=link_to “Save”, {:action => “save”, :form_id => “user”} %>

does that work?

the answer may well be yes buy you can just put an extra hidden input
tag in the form like:
<input type="hidden name=“formid” value=“1”>
and access it via params[:formid]

Hi,

Just to make sure, where should I put this hidden field ? I tried
placing it in my side bar but can’t get value

Thanks

he’s missed a quote mark off …it should be:

note the second quote mark after hidden

<%= hidden_field_tag “name”, “value” %>
