My rendered partial '_form' appears, but is not submitting - ruby-on-rails

Question

Ruby 2.1.5 on Rails 4.2.0:
I have two directories. One directory is a rails-generate scaffold named 'inqueries'. The other directory is named 'welcome', which only houses a landing paged named index.html.erb. The inquery form works & submits fine as long as I'm using the view from the actual 'inquery' scaffold/directory.
I am able to render the inquery _form on my index.html.erb landing page using :
<%= render partial: "inqueries/form", locals: {inquery: #Inquery} %>
However, this JUST renders the form. When I hit the submit button, no errors, flash messages, or inquery is submitted. It is complete non-action, including on my rails terminal.
How can I properly make the form work on my landing page?
Here is my welcome_controller.rb file. This controller handles the landing page where I am trying to render the inquery scaffold's form:
class WelcomeController < ApplicationController
def index
#inquery = Inquery.new
render layout: false
end
end
This is my new rails scaffold-generated method in the inqueries_controller.rb:
def new
#inquery = Inquery.new
respond_with(#inquery)
end
Sorry, Here is the Inquery _form itself:
<%= form_for(#inquery) do |f| %>
<div class="form-group col-lg-4">
<%= f.label t('.name') %><br>
<%= f.text_field :name, class: "form-control" %>
</div>
<div class="form-group col-lg-4">
<%= f.label t('.email') %><br>
<%= f.text_field :email, class: "form-control" %>
</div>
<div class="form-group col-lg-4">
<%= f.label t('.phone') %><br>
<%= f.text_field :phone, class: "form-control" %>
</div>
<div class="clearfix"></div>
<div class="form-group col-lg-12">
<%= f.label t('.message') %><br>
<%= f.text_area :message, rows: 8, class: "form-control"%>
</div>
<%= f.submit t('.submit'), class: "btn btn-primary" %>
<% end %>
EDIT 2: I saw there were a couple of suggestions with the logic. I have simplified the partial just to see if I could get it to work and it still does not submit properly outside of its directory. I am new to rails, do I need to render a new action in the second directory that I am calling it into?

Answer 1

Your partial has 2 forms. The one which submits to inqueries#create is an empty form with no submit button, the other which has no action contains the text fields and the submit action.
The form_for tag will create the html tags, you dont need to specify them again.
Tip - Switch to haml. You won't ever look back at erb :)
This should work (not tested) -
<%= form_for(#inquery) do |f| %>
<div id="error_explanation">
<% if #inquery.errors.any? %>
<h2>
<%= pluralize(#inquery.errors.count, "error") %> prohibited this inquery from being saved:
</h2>
<ul>
<% #inquery.errors.full_messages.each do |message| %>
<li><%= message %></li>
<% end %>
</ul>
<% end %>
</div>
<br />
<div class="col-lg-12">
<div class="form-group col-lg-4">
<%= f.label t('.name') %><br>
<%= f.text_field :name, class: "form-control" %>
</div>
<div class="form-group col-lg-4">
<%= f.label t('.email') %><br>
<%= f.text_field :email, class: "form-control" %>
</div>
<div class="form-group col-lg-4">
<%= f.label t('.phone') %><br>
<%= f.text_field :phone, class: "form-control" %>
</div>
<div class="clearfix"></div>
<div class="form-group col-lg-12">
<%= f.label t('.message') %><br>
<%= f.text_area :message, rows: 8, class: "form-control"%>
</div>
<div class="form-group col-lg-12">
<input type="hidden" name="save" value="contact">
<%= f.submit t('.submit'), class: "btn btn-primary" %>
</div>
</div>
<% end %>

Answer 2

Figured it out. Foolish error,
My welcome page is a bootstrap theme that I hadn't fully gone over. I had imported some unnecessary javascript files that I think were blocking the form.
