Don’t know whether this has been discussed for the core, or if anyone
has seen a plugin.
Can anyone think of a reason why the form helpers don’t produce
corresponding labels?
…
Take the following example…
Name of
Local airport
<%= text_field ‘hotel_content’, ‘airportlocal’%>
The helper for text_field is compact but the necessary label code is
twice as long when most of the information is specific for the field.
Surely a syntax such as…
<%= text_field ‘hotel_content’, ‘airportlocal’, :label => “Name of
local airport”%>
would be much more DRY. You could always pass false to :label to omit
this.
Any thoughts?
