Question

I have the code

<%= form_for(@user) do |f| %>
    <div>
    <%= f.label :email, :class=>'inline betaLabelTextField' %>
    <%= f.text_field :email, :class=>'betaTextField' %>
    </div>
<% end %>

The problem is that this code automatically generates the html

<div> 
        <label class="inline betaLabelTextField" for="user_email">Email</label> 
        <input class="betaTextField" id="user_email" name="user[email]" size="30" type="text" /> 
    </div> 

Inside a form. How can i change ‘Email’ to ‘Email Address’?

Answer 1

The easiest way is to do this instead:

<%= form_for(@user) do |f| %>
    <div>
    <%= f.label :email, "Email Address", :class=>'inline betaLabelTextField' %>
    <%= f.text_field :email, :class=>'betaTextField' %>
    </div>
<% end %>
