I had a very weird situation today where a simple form I had created in rails would not work for the edit action. It would work ok for the new action. But if I tried to edit an entry, the submit button wouldn’t do anything.

And after googling around a bit, I found that forms cannot go inside of tables. So to fix it, I changed it to this.

<%= form_for(@attendee) do |f| %>
  



  

    
      Firstname
    
    
    
      <%= f.text_field :firstname %>
    
  

      
  
  

    
      Lastname
    
    
    
      <%= f.text_field :lastname %>
    
  

      
  
  

    
      Email
    
    
    
      <%= f.text_field :email %>
    
  

      
  
  

    
      <%= f.submit 'Submit' %>
    
  

    

 
<% end %>

Then things worked fine. Weird.
