Question

I m using the ink framework for styling my web application. And for styling form i am using this http://ink.sapo.pt/index.php/forms.

<form class= "ink-form inline">
<%= form_for(@document, :remote => true) do |f| %>
   <fieldset>
    <div class="control required validation error">
      <%= f.label :title, :class => "short" %>
      <%= f.text_field :title, :class => "short" %>
    </div>

   </fieldset>
<% end %>
</form>

In the above form ive put the class= ink-form inline to style the form. Doing this styles my form but it does nt update the values in the database. When i use this code

<%= form_for(@document, :remote => true, :class => "ink-form inline") do |f| %>

then it updates the values in the database but it doesnt style the form. I am not getting where the problem is. Please help.!!

Try this!

<%= form_for(@document, :remote => true, :html => {:class => "ink-form inline"}) do |f| %>
   <fieldset>
    <div class="control required validation error">
      <%= f.label :title, :class => "short" %>
      <%= f.text_field :title, :class => "short" %>
    </div>

   </fieldset>
<% end %>

If you had inspected your earlier code in the browser, you would see two form tags (one within the other). The reason is form_for generates its own form and that is where you would want to provide the options.
