> but the inputs in the forms are not showing up with any data-elements An <input> element does not send out a request. A <form> sends out a request when you click on the submit <button>. In other words, after the user fills out a form, they click the submit button, then the browser creates a request containing the info on the form, then the browser sends the request to your server, and the server passes the data to your rails app.
> and when i change data nothing is sent back to the server Data gets sent back to the server after you click the submit button. It's possible to use javascript to detect an onchange event for an <input> element, but you need to know javascript or jquery to do that. -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.
