form_helper_css

= form_helper_css

== Description

This plugin enhances the default tag helpers to automatically add CSS classes to form elements. It's similar to the enhanced_form_tag_helper plugin, but takes a different approach by directly intercepting the tag and content_tag methods, and should therefore work in all situations where form elements are created, especially the FormHelper and more exotic ones like button_to.

The following elements are enhanced:

• tags get their type as class name
• submit and reset buttons additionally get the class name button
• password fields additionally get the class name text
• tags get the class name text
• and tags are not enhanced If any helper options already specify a class, nothing will be changed. If you don't want a class to be added, pass :class => nil. There is a single option which can be set in the following manner: ActionView::Helpers::TagHelper::FORM_HELPER_CSS_OPTIONS.merge!(:append => true) If set to true, then even if a class is specified, the magical classes will be appended to the output. == License The form_helper_css plugin is released under the MIT license. == Author Philip Hallstrom == Original Author Markus Koller http://snafu.diarrhea.ch 24 December 2006
