That's unfortunate :-)

I'm rusty on 1.2.3 syntax, but I think you can just specify the method
needed:

form_for :styles, :url => styles_url(:id =>
current_client.id), :method => :put do

so actually, you might want to move this into your form partial,
passing a local variable to indicate whether or not you should
use :method => :put or :method => :post (or you can leave it off
entirely for the :post case).

I can't tell from your code, but if your partial is using a variable
like @styles, then actually you could just look at @styles.new_record?
to find out if it's new (i.e. use :post) or old (i.e. use :put).
That's actually what the 2.0 code does internally.

Hope this helps?
