I have the following code that generates a rhtml page,

<%= start_form_tag :action => ‘create’ %>
<%= render :partial => ‘form’ %>
<%= submit_tag “Create” %>
<%= end_form_tag %>

<%= link_to ‘Back’, :action => ‘list’ %>

…I am trying to put a “Browse” button to allow a user to select a file
for
upload. How can I modify the code so that it automaticall generates a
“file_field” instead of a “text_field”?

Googling “rails file upload field”:

came up with this:

(There’s a form helper tag that generates a file upload field.)

I have the file upload field, now the problem is the datetime field I
had to
add…

this .rhml,

<%= start_form_tag :action => ‘create’ %>
<%= render :partial => ‘form’ %>
<%= submit_tag “Create” %>
<%= end_form_tag %>
<%= link_to ‘Back’, :action => ‘list’ %>

…creates a html page with a datetime field name,

this,

<%= select_datetime(datetime = Time.now, options = {:prefix =>
‘product’})
%>

…generates a datetime field name,

How can I modify the select_datetime function so that it returns the
same
datetim name as the automatically rendered one above?
