Rails is not creating hidden field for put method on an update form

I have a REST resource called Greetings.

Here is my routes file:

resources :greetings

I have a form to create or update a greeting as follows:

     <%= form_tag(@greeting, :remote => true, :id => 'greeting_form') do %>
    <%= text_area :greeting, :content, :rows => 3, :placeholder => "Type your message..." %>
    <% end %>

note: I am using form_tag because this form also collects user data.

This is supposed to create a hidden field with method=> put but its not so it can't find the route.

Any ideas how I can get this to submit开发者_如何学Python to the update action?

Just write

<%= form_tag(@greeting, :remote => true, :id => 'greeting_form', :method => :put) do %>

and everything should be working.

You can use form_for tag and still collect user data like this:

  <%= form_for @greeting, :validate => true do |f| %>
    <%= f.text_area :content, :rows => 3, :placeholder => "Type your message..." %>
    <%= f.fields_for @user do |u| %>
      <%= u.text_field :name %>
    <% end %>
  <% end
