I thought rails needed a label helper at first, but then I decided that form builders fill the gap just fine as well as allowing more flexibility and control.
I have my own form builder for example that automatically associates labels with my controls without me needing to specify them in my view, so this also cuts down on the code I need to write in my view. I figure not having a label helper in rails forces people to do things like use a form builder, which I think is the better approach. It's sorta like how using form_tag in rails 1.2 can only be closed by using the '</form>' html tag. It makes people think it doesn't feel right, which is why you use should use form_for instead. I personally say no to a label_helper in rails. :) -- Andrew Kaspick http://www.redlinesoftware.com On 1/18/07, Jarkko Laine <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:
