No HTML code generated with submit_tag helper

Rails
1

Hello,

I am trying to implement the depot sample application of “Agile
programming with rails”, everrithing goes good until came to AJAX
stuff,

When I changed the button_to for submit_tag I have no HTML code
generated for invoking the action using AJAX, I read the
troubleshooting section and everything is OK, any Idea of what could be
happening?

The code in index.rhml is

<% form_remote_tag :url => {:action => :add_to_cart, :id => product

} do %>
<%= submit_tag “Add to Cart” %>
<% end %>

and the resulting form has nothing, just a couple of blank lines in the
place that should show the button.

Thank you

You forgot the =

(Some forms use it and some don’t. No idea why!)

(Some forms use it and some don’t. No idea why!)

<% form_for :item %>
…
<% end %>

Is a block, so it doesn’t use the =. It outputs what’s inside the block.

<%= form_remote_tag %>

Doesn’t have a block, it’s directly outputting the tag itself.

Philip,

I tried two ways, and when use "=" sends an error

SyntaxError in Store#index

Showing app/views/store/index.rhtml where line #13 raised:

compile error
./script/…/config/…/app/views/store/index.rhtml:13: parse error,
unexpected ‘)’
_erbout.concat " "; _erbout.concat(( form_remote_tag :url =>
{:action => :add_to_cart, :id => product } do ).to_s); _erbout.concat
“\n”

                                   ^

./script/…/config/…/app/views/store/index.rhtml:18: parse error,

end ; _erbout

Any other idea?

Jim,

The code is

<% form_remote_tag :url => {:action => :add_to_cart, :id => product }
do %>
<%= submit_tag “Add to Cart” %>
<% end %>

it should generate a form with a submit button, but it doesn’t generate
any HTML code, just two blank lines, seems weird, isn’t?

Thank you

take off the <% end %> tag, after you switch from <% form_remote_tag
%> to <%= form_remote_tag %>

I am using

<%= form_tag :action => :agent_call_list%>
<%= submit_tag -%>
<%= end_form_tag %>
