How does one generate a form within a view using javascript? Specifically, assume views/premise/new.html.erb looks like this:
<%= form_for(Premise.new) do |f| %> <%= f.hidden_field :full_address, :value => $FULL_ADDRESS %> <%= f.hidden_field :geocoding, :value => $GEOCODING %> <%= f.submit :value => "use this address" %> <%= f.label :formatted_address, $FULL_ADDRESS %> <% end %> ... but with the twist that this form must be generated on the client side by javascript. (In this case, $GEOCODING and $FORMATTED_ADDRESS are placeholders for values generated by the Google geocoding service, which requires client-side javascript.) One approach would be to look at the HTML generated by the above .erb code and write javascript functions that emit HTML directly. But this approach reeks -- there must be a better way! Assuming there is a better way, where do I look for documentation and examples? -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.
