I'm making an app where I have multiple forms on one page but they are all similar; there is a text box and a submit button.

What I would like to do is consolidate all text boxes into one then have many submit buttons. That way the user inputs the data once in the obvious text box at top then decides which category (submit button) he would like to apply the data in the input box to.

Is this possible? I can't find and documentation on how to do this. Thanks!

You can do so by using <%= fomr_tag url: "/myCust" do %> method to create a form and wrap all the fields inside form tag. on submit button you will be redirect to /myCust method.

There you can get all the params in myCust method. You are using rails 4 then define all params under private method as it does. Store each of them. as you may want.

I tried to do this but I must not understand; how does my custom method recognize which submit button is being pressed? If I press one submit button I want it to add numbers together, if I press another I want it to subtract them. in either case I want it to change the attribute on the controller object once its finished calculating.
I found this link but it doesn't work on mine :( I'm using submit_tag if that matters.
I figured out how to get it to work params[:commit] not :submit
