Hi,

I am trying to sanitize some bad html tags using sanitize  
([Sanitize: A whitelist-based Ruby HTML sanitizer - wonko.com](http://wonko.com/post/sanitize)).

I have a basic form:

\<% form\_for … do |f| %\>  
\<%= Sanitize.clean(f.text\_field :title,  
Sanitize::Config::RESTRICTED) %\>  
\<% end %\>

This is incorrect, could anyone help me out.  
Thank you.
