use with form button helper

[folivi]

hello,
how can I use it with a sumit button?

like <%= f.submit <> 'save this', class: 'btn btn-success' %>

thanks

Try something like this:

<%= f.submit ''.html_safe + 'save this', class: 'btn btn-success' %>

I'm trying to accomplish this as well, with no success.

I see what marcuscarey is trying to say, but it doesn't work.

submit outputs:

<%= f.submit 'save this', class: 'btn btn-success' %>

<input class="btn btn-success" name="commit" type="submit" value="save this">

As you can see it outputs an input which means the value attribute cannot contain any HTML

I recommend using button which outputs:

<%= f.button 'save this', class: 'btn btn-success' %>

<button class="btn btn-success" name="button" type="submit">save this</button>

You can pass a block to nest HTML:

<%= f.button class: 'btn btn-success' do %>
  <i class="fa fa-..."></i>
  Save This
<% end %>

<button class="btn btn-success" name="button" type="submit">
  <i class="fa fa-..."></i>
  save this
</button>
