Hi Frederick, As I mentioned to Colin, I would start a new thread on this question, which is at http://groups.google.com/group/rubyonrails-talk/tree/browse_frm/thread/d0ca35d39de37478/cd6ed92bd974e311?rnum=1&_done=%2Fgroup%2Frubyonrails-talk%2Fbrowse_frm%2Fthread%2Fd0ca35d39de37478%3F#doc_cd6ed92bd974e311
Thanks for looking into my problem. But I just noticed that there is another response on this thread. > button_to_function creates a form, which would result in a form nested inside > a form, which isn't allowed. Wow. As I mentioned on the other thread, I posted code on that seemed clean from a Rails perspective and from an HTML perspective. So, if button_to_function is inappropriate for forms, can I specify an image that, when clicked, would toggle a page with the appropriate id specified? Is there an example on the web that you'd recommend? Best wishes, Richard BTW, my current code, with HTML generated and Validation results is at http://www.pastie.org/882256 On Mar 22, 7:00 pm, Frederick Cheung <frederick.che...@gmail.com> wrote: > On Mar 22, 9:18 pm, > RichardOnRails<richarddummymailbox58...@uscomputergurus.com> wrote: > > It brought up a list of vendor-names immediately under my Vendors > > textbox, which worked great as far as I was concerned.
