    <p>I am trying to use <a href="http://twitter.github.com/bootstrap/base-css.html#forms" rel="nofollow">Bootstrap forms</a> in Rails. But after inspecting the _form partial created by my post scaffold, I'm not quite sure how I can edit the variables with regular input methods.</p> <p><strong>For example, this is the built-in form code:</strong></p> <pre><code>&lt;%= form_for(@post) do |f| %&gt; &lt;div class="field"&gt; &lt;%= f.label :name %&gt;&lt;br /&gt; &lt;%= f.text_field :name %&gt; &lt;/div&gt; &lt;div class="field"&gt; &lt;%= f.label :content %&gt;&lt;br /&gt; &lt;%= f.text_area :content %&gt; &lt;/div&gt; &lt;div class="actions"&gt; &lt;%= f.submit %&gt; &lt;/div&gt; &lt;% end %&gt; </code></pre> <p><strong>I want to use the form code below:</strong></p> <pre><code>&lt;form&gt; &lt;fieldset&gt; &lt;legend&gt;Start posting&lt;/legend&gt; &lt;label&gt;Name&lt;/label&gt; &lt;input class="span10" type="text" placeholder="Name: "&gt; &lt;label&gt;Content&lt;/label&gt; &lt;input class="span10" type="text" placeholder="Content: "&gt; &lt;textarea rows="10"&gt;&lt;/textarea&gt; &lt;button type="submit" class="btn"&gt;Submit&lt;/button&gt; &lt;/fieldset&gt; &lt;/form&gt; </code></pre> <p><strong>Question: How do I use Bootstrap version of form code?</strong></p> <p>I tried something like..</p> <pre><code>&lt;input class="span10" type="text" name="@post.name" placeholder="Type in name: "&gt; &lt;button type="submit" class="btn"&gt;Submit&lt;/button&gt; </code></pre> <p>But it doesn't seem to work. I thought the Bootstrap submit button is not pointing at the right direction, so I tried the following as well:</p> <pre><code>&lt;input class="span10" type="text" name="@post.name" placeholder="Type in name: "&gt; &lt;%= form_for(@post) do |f| %&gt; &lt;%= f.submit %&gt; &lt;% end %&gt; </code></pre> <p>Could someone please help me with this? I appreciate your help!</p>

    2. CONo. Is it recommended to do so? I just downloaded the compiled version of Bootstrap and put them into my assets folder. So far I haven't found any inconvenience. If I use the gem, how is it different for me to use the above form for my post?

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.

If you are curious you may find further information in the browser console, which is accessible through the devtools (F12).
