I have a form\_tag that is:  
\<% form\_remote\_tag :url =\> ‘/tasks/new’, :class =\> ‘edit\_task’ do -%\>

Everything is fine EXCEPT the class doesn’t get assigned to the form  
tag. Any help would be appreciated…

Thanks,

Alan

Thanks! I had seen that in the docs, but I didn’t know that html  
meant that you could send html options to it. Just a newbie mistake.  
I seem to be making all of them. 🙂

Thanks again for your help. (btw, this doesn’t work for form\_tag for  
anyone else looking for this one.)

Take a look at the docs: any html options need to be passed as :html  
=\> { …}

form\_tag is unfortunately different. You need  
form\_tag( {:action =\> …, :controller =\> …}, :class =\> 'foo)  
It would be nice if this was consistent across the various helpers,  
but unfortunately it isn’t
