Inline Button To

Happy New Year. I have been a bit quiet of late as I have moved to Trondheim, Norway and am getting to grips with everything here.
Every wanted to use the button_to helper and need it to display items on the same name as the button?
Like this :

If you are running rails2 slap this in your config/initializers directory.
module ActionView module Helpers module UrlHelper def inline_button_to(name, options = {}, html_options = {}) html_options = html_options.stringify_keys convert_boolean_attributes!(html_options, %w( disabled )) if(other_code = html_options.delete('inline')) other_code = " or " + other_code end method_tag = '' if (method = html_options.delete('method')) && %w{put delete}.include?(method.to_s) method_tag = tag('input', :type => 'hidden', :name => '_method', :value => method.to_s) end form_method = method.to_s == 'post' ? 'post' : 'get' request_token_tag = '' if form_method == 'post' && protect_against_forgery? request_token_tag = tag(:input, :type => "hidden", :name => request_forgery_protection_token.to_s, :value => form_authenticity_token) end if confirm = html_options.delete("confirm") html_options["onclick"] = "return #{confirm_javascript_function(confirm)};" end url = options.is_a?(String) ? options : self.url_for(options) name ||= url html_options.merge!("type" => "submit", "value" => name) "<form method=\"#{form_method}\" action=\"#{escape_once url}\" class=\"button-to\"><div>" + method_tag + tag("input", html_options) + request_token_tag + other_code + "</div></form>" end end end end
The you can call:
<%= inline_button_to 'title', url, {:inline => 'what you want in here'}%>
Cheers.
