I have an application.haml that renders partials,  
and the partials use form\_remote\_tag. f\_r\_t returns  
the _whole partial again_, not just the form fragment.

This has to be a bug doesn’t it?

I diagnosed it by putting the form\_remote\_tag into  
a helper and printing the return value.

If you’re doing:

= form\_remote\_tag … do

then you will get odd results.

Do:

- form\_remote\_tag … do

BTW: This is completely consistent with rhtml behavior. User \<% %\> in  
rhtml, not \<%= %\> for the form\_tag and form\_remote\_tag helpers.
