How to find the helpers code?

Hello,

i have the application set up on my radrails. I was looking at the view
generated by scaffold and i see a bunch of names, after looking up
internet i found that they are helpers and generate the HTML for us.

Now, i wanted to look at the helper code for start_form_tag, so that
based on that i could write some of my own helpers in my helper
classes… but i could not find the code anywhere for

start_form_tag, end_form_tag, or submit_tag or render or anything… !!

Also where could i find out what are the parameters required for these
helpers (if i cant see the code ) ??

Thanks for any help,
Satya.

First of all, all the methods listed in the API have their
corresponding code.
http://api.rubyonrails.com/classes/ActionView/Helpers/FormTagHelper.html#M000403
and click on “Show Source” to check it out.

Unfortunately I don’t know the path where gems are installed on
RadRails, but in your Ruby dir, the helpers are in
gems/1.8/gems/actionpack-1.11.2/lib/action_view/helpers.

RadRails doesn’t come with Ruby or rails or any of that… it just uses
the install you
have on your system.
