How could I generate above text filed using ruby?

I am not sure how to give the options such as onchange, onfocus, id and
so on?

could some one please help.

You can specify that behaviour in the options parameter of the
text_field
method in FormHelper. For example, you can do the following:
<%= text_field :object, ‘field’, :onchange => “your onchange javascript
here”, :onfocus => “your onfocus javascript here” %>

Hi I did try it and it throws an error fallowing is my code

<%= text_field ‘reservation’, ‘start_time’, :id => “dateField”,
:onchange =>“magicDate(‘dateField’);”, :onfocus=“if (this.className !=
‘error’) this.select()” %>

I believe the error occurs in onfocuse area as It might be getting
confused with the input

Could you someone pls help me to correct this?

What’s the error? Are you getting a rails error, or a javascript error?

I am getting a rails error on this area :onfocus="if (this.className !=

‘error’) this.select()"

its pointing the error on :onfocus=" <<<< on the quote symbol.

Any ideas?

Try this instead…

<%= text_field :object, ‘field’, {}, {:onchange => “your onchange
javascript
here”, :onfocus => “your onfocus javascript here”} %>
