POLabels for radio buttons in rails form
text
Body
copied!<p>My question is similar to <a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/658689/how-to-associate-labels-with-radio-buttons">this one</a> but for a Rails app.</p> <p>I have a form with some radio buttons, and would like to associate labels with them. The <code>label</code> form helper only takes a form field as a parameter, but in this case I have multiple radio buttons for a single form field. The only way I see to do it is to manually create a label, hard coding the ID that is auto generated for the radio button. Does anyone know of a better way to do it?</p> <p>For example:</p> <pre><code><% form_for(@message) do |f| %> <%= label :contactmethod %> <%= f.radio_button :contactmethod, 'email', :checked => true %> Email <%= f.radio_button :contactmethod, 'sms' %> SMS <% end %> </code></pre> <p>This generates something like:</p> <pre><code><label for="message_contactmethod">Contactmethod</label> <input checked="checked" id="message_contactmethod_email" name="message[contactmethod]" value="email" type="radio"> Email <input id="message_contactmethod_sms" name="message[contactmethod]" value="sms" type="radio"> SMS </code></pre> <p>What I want:</p> <pre><code><input checked="checked" id="message_contactmethod_email" name="message[contactmethod]" value="email" type="radio"><label for="message_contactmethod_email">Email</label> <input id="message_contactmethod_sms" name="message[contactmethod]" value="sms" type="radio"> <label for="message_contactmethod_sms">SMS</label> </code></pre>
