(Woah there, I don't think it sounds stupid. This is a pretty common
sort of thing to want to do in HTML UIs - *without* a separate form
for each. If you don't know RoR, you wouldn't think to have a single
form for each user listed on the page or whatever; that's not the way
a proficient web developer would approach the problem in conventional
HTML. )
I'm having a similar problem. I'm modifying Redmine. In a form to
create a new bug/issue, there is currently a SUBMIT button to create
the issue and a link to preview the issue. I want the link to be a
button, instead. Here's the code:
<% labelled_tabular_form_for :issue, @issue,
:html => {:multipart => true, :id =>
'issue-form'} do |f| %>
<%= error_messages_for 'issue' %>
<div class="box">
<%= render :partial => 'issues/form', :locals => {:f => f} %>
</div>
<div class="submitrow">
<%= submit_tag l(:button_create), :class=> 'but mb' %>
<%= link_to_remote l(:label_preview),
{ :url => { :controller => 'issues', :action =>
'preview', :project_id => @project },
:method => 'post',
:update => 'preview',
:with => "Form.serialize('issue-form')",
:complete => "Element.scrollTo('preview')"
}, :accesskey => accesskey(:preview), :class =>
'but' %>
</div>
<% end %>
Yes, I can continue to muck with the CSS to get the link to exactly
match the SUBMIT button, but I wondered if it's possible to have the
two SUBMIT buttons going to different actions and how to do it. I'm
not a RoR developer; I'm a UI designer w/ a lot of HTMl/JS experience
and I'm just trying to improve the usability of an existing (complex)
RoR application and customize the look & feel for our site. Sadly,
there's no "RoR for UI Designers Cookbook"
Thanks for any help.

(The RoR documentation format is pretty weak, btw. No Search?
Incidentally, when I google [submit_tag ruby on rails] I get
http://api.rubyonrails.org/classes/ActionView/Helpers/FormHelper.html#M001394
which doesn't document submit_tab. The RoR documentation site sucks --
no search??
the documentation for submit_tag is at
http://api.rubyonrails.com/classes/ActionView/Helpers/FormTagHelper.html#M001537)
