As far as I know, Rails doesn't generate form attribute for input control tags because it's assumed that form content is captured and rendered within a block.
# typical rails form usage > <%= form_for(object) do |f| %> > <%= f.text_field :bam %> > <% end %> > # generates > <form ...> > ... > <input name="object[bam]" type="text"> > </form> The assumption has a limitation that content must not contain another form element. [w3 spec](http://www.w3.org/TR/2011/WD-html5-20110525/association-of-controls-and-forms.html#association-of-controls-and-forms) defines a set of attributes on input tags to associate themselves to their form. > # decoupled control and its form > <form id="flexible"...> > </form> > # control input can be placed outside of form tag > # but still be associated to its form > <input form="flexible" name="object[bam]" type="text"> Will Rails support auto generation of form attribute on input controls, that are outside of form tag? Is this feature on the roadmap? Quick hacks are most welcomed :) -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Core" group.
