Hi,

I’m displaying i.e. 100 forms that differ only in action and right now  
form inputs in every form have the same ids. I could overwrite them  
somehow to make them unique, but I don’t really need them at all. I  
tried setting :id to nil or false, but it displays generated id in  
this case.

Thanks
