#38 Multibutton Form

This is too funny. I was halfway through a post on railsforum asking how to do exactly this when my RSS alerted me to a new Railscast. Your timing could not be better!

d:)

I'm agree with the first comentary ;)

One way round the AJAX form problem is to have one submit button, and use a "preview" checkbox.

Another great railscast! please keep them coming!

I found the multibutton form can be work only for form_for, but not for form_remote_for

Nice one. I wish this worked with image_submit_tag too.

The name attribute does not not get passed back in the params hash for image_submit_tag

How can I replace submit_tag buttons with link_to or link_to_function?

I want to use multiple link_to_function to replace the submit_tag, to prevent users from accidentally sending a form when press the enter key.

However, I cannot figure out a way to pass :name => 'preview_button' in link_to_function.

This is how I submit a form via link_to_function:

<%= link_to_function('Save', "$('ProductForm').submit()") %>

Please help
Thanks

For those who wanted to try this, keep in mind that this requires that Red Cloth be installed in order to utilize textilize:

http://api.rubyonrails.org/classes/ActionView/Helpers/TextHelper.html#M001748

. To install it:

gem install RedCloth

Then add:

require "RedCloth"

To your environment.rb file.

For more information on setting it up, go here:

thx for this article sir

submit_to_remote no longer exist in Rails 3. Just use a submit and do as described in the video.

thx

Was this behavior deprecated at some point?
