hidden_field syntax problems

Question

I have been trying to pass what round the users intends to go to by which button they click through a hidden field that passes in the round number.

<%= form_for @round, :url => { :action => 'pick_page'} do |f| %>

<%= f.hidden_field :round, :value => '1', :class =>'round1' %>
<%= f.submit 'Picks', :class => 'round1' %>

<%= f.hidden_field :round, :value => '2', :class =>'round2' %>
<%= f.submit 'Picks', :class => 'round2' %>

<% end %>

With this code I constantly get 2 passed through as the round in my pick_page. It is obviously skipping over the first hidden field. How can I get it so 'f.submit' submits the round number that is associated with its class.

You should use 2 different forms I think

We just had the same problem! We fixed it creating 2 diferent forms right next to each other.

<%= form_for @round, :url => { :action => 'pick_page'} do |f| %>

<%= f.hidden_field :round, :value => '1', :class =>'round1' %>
<%= f.submit 'Picks', :class => 'round1' %>

<%= f.hidden_field :round, :value => '2', :class =>'round2' %>
<%= f.submit 'Picks', :class => 'round2' %>

<% end %>

Change it to

<%= form_for @round, :url => { :action => 'pick_page'} do |f| %>

<%= f.hidden_field :round, :value => '1', :class =>'round1' %>
<%= f.submit 'Picks', :class => 'round1' %>

<% end %>

<%= form_for @round, :url => { :action => 'pick_page'} do |f| %>

<%= f.hidden_field :round, :value => '2', :class =>'round2' %>
<%= f.submit 'Picks', :class => 'round2' %>

<% end %>

You can just remove the hidden fields and add a name and value attributes on your submit button.

adding a value field like :value => '1' makes the name of the button '1'

Sorry, did not think of that. Then you can give them different name, not use value, and check if a params of this name is sent ? I do not see other solution without using JS.
