form_for closes <form> tag

Question

I have a strange situation happening on a page where my

tags are being closed immediately, leaving the form\'s contents on their own and not useful

Answer 1

My way to fix it is to include the submit button right before the end and make the button not display.

  <%= submit_tag('',style: 'width:0;height:0;display:none;') %>
<% end %>

This puts the ending tag right where I need it.

Answer 2

I had this problem and figured it out. For me, it was because I was rendering the form in an invalid place. Specifically, I had some content like this:

<table>
  <tr>
    <td>
      Stuff I might want to edit
    </td>
    <div style="display: none">
      <%= form_for thing_i_might_want_to_edit %>
        ...
      <% end %>
    </div>
  </tr>
</table>

Moving the hidden div (and the form inside it) into the tag fixed the problem.

Answer 3

What version of Rails are you using? Coz till 2.3.2 form_for didn't return back a value

<% form_for(@review) do |f| %>

Note the "=" missing at the start!
