Hi all

I have my own FormBuilder. One of its functionalities is to group fields  
using the following method:

def group\_fields(legend, options = {}, &block)  
concat(@template.content\_tag(‘fieldset’,  
@template.content\_tag(‘legend’,  
legend  
) + capture(&block), options),  
block.binding)  
end

This just creates a fieldset tag and puts the fields into it:

form.group\_fields(‘Caption…’) do |group|  
group.text\_area(:asdf)  
end

Now I need to modify it a little bit for design purposes: I need another  
div around the fields! But I just seem to be unable to modify it the way  
it should be modified! I always get compile errors and stuff. 😉

Maybe a more experienced coder can help me?

Thanks a lot  
Josh

Does that do what you want? (after you put the lines that start with  
commas back together with the previous line, of course)

Oh, everything was perfectly correct, I just had an invalid XHTML  
structure and I was too lazy to check the output source code… 😉 So  
the problem was not this method.

Thanks anyway.
