in the same way as you create other forms..
<% form_for(@person) do |f|%>
<%= f.hidden_field :sex %>
then on icon you could set onClick="setSex('M', this)"
function setSex(gender, element) {
document.getElementById('person_sex').value='M';
// change class to make this selected/highlighted
this.setAttribute("class", "highlited")
// change other items
...
}
other way is to change radio buttons itself to images..
