Hi all
All my forms should look the same, so I think always putting the right
div etc. tags around them is a violation of the DRY principle.
Until now my forms look like that:
Subject: <%= text_field
"news_item", "subject" %>
Now I want the default form helper methods to do that all for me:
<%= text_field “news_item”, “subject”, :label => “Subject” %>
…should produce exactly the same output as the HTML above.
Now I don’t really know how to call the old text_field method to produce
the input tag from within my new method:
application_helper.rb:
def text_field(object_name, method, options = {})
ret_val = “<div class=“text_field”>\n”
ret_val += text_field object_name, method, options # Don’t become
recursive, just call the now overwritten method!
ret_val += “\n”
end
Thanks for help. 
Joshua
