Submit button not working in Ruby/Firefox - ruby-on-rails

I'd like to have a single form that has 2 or more field-set_tags and I'd like to have a single submit button to update the changes for all field_set_tags at once, but that's not working ; if I create a form for each field_set_tag and one submit button per form, it works fine ; anyone can help? my simplified partial view _form.html.erb has the following structure
<%= form_for(#my_form) do |f| %>
<%= field_set_tag "Field Set A" do %>
<div class="field>
<%= f.label :"Configure A" %>
<%= f.check_box :ConfigA %>
<%= f.label :"Login" %>
<%= f.text_field :A_Login, {:size => 12} %>
<%= f.label :"Password" %>
<%= f.password_field :A_Password, {:size => 12} %>
<!-- more Ruby code here -->
</div>
<% end %>
<%= field_set_tag "Field Set B" do %>
<div>
<%= f.label :"Configure B" %>
<%= f.check_box :ConfigB %>
<%= f.label :"Login" %>
<%= f.text_field :B_Login, {:size => 12} %>
<%= f.label :"Password" %>
<%= f.password_field :B_Password, {:size => 12} %>
<!-- more Ruby code here -->
</div>
<% end %>
<div class="actions">
<%= f.submit "Update" %>
</div>
<!-- more field_sets and Ruby code here -->
<% end %>
I also tried this with no luck either
<input type="submit" value="Update" />

My issue was caused by a button I configured as a place holder for future use like this
<div class="field">
<%= button_to "Advanced" %>
</div>
When I removed that button, all worked fine
In a similar way, I configured 2 successive submit buttons like this
<div class="actions">
<%= button_to "Update", :type => "submit" %>
</div>
<div class="actions">
<%= button_to "Update", :type => "submit" %>
</div>
the 1st one does submit but the 2nd one generates this error
Unknown action
The action '4' could not be found for L2CircuitTestsController
2 or more successive "Advanced" buttons cause the same behavior : only the 1st one does the job and the other are eclipsed!

Rails: Form is not being loaded when trying to update

I am just trying to set up a basic application with Ruby on Rails. I have the basic CRUD functions for different entities and with one of them, the form that is supposed to load when the user wants to edit a row does not appear. It knows which ID it needs to edit, it just doesn't load the form.
Link to take you to edit page;
<%= link_to 'Edit Review'. edit_review_path(review) %>
Controller function;
def edit
#review=Review.find(params[:id])
end
HTML Form;
<div class="container">
<h2>Edit Review Details</h2>
<% form_for #review do |f| %>
<div class="form-group">
<%= f.label :"Profile" %><br />
<%= f.select :ProfileId, Profile.all.collect {|x| [x.Name,x.id]}, {:include_blank => 'Select Profile'}, class:'form-control'%> <br /><br />
</div>
<div class="form-group">
<%= f.label :"Product" %><br />
<%= f.select :ProductId, Product.all.collect {|x| [x.pName,x.id]}, {:include_blank => 'Select Product'}, class:'form-control'%>
</div>
<div class="form-group">
<%= f.label :"Review Author" %>
<%= f.text_field :Author %>
</div>
<div class="form-group">
<%= f.label :"Product Rating" %>
<%= f.number_field :ProductRating %>
</div>
<div class="form-group">
<%= f.label :"Review Text"%>
<%= f.text_field :ReviewText %>
</div>
<div class="form-group">
<%= f.label :"Date of Review" %>
<%= f.date_field :DateofReview %>
</div>
<div class="form-group">
<%= f.submit %>
</div>
<% end %>
</div>
I have 2 models that have a working update feature and they are the exact same code as this however for this, when I click the button. The page loads but nothing appears other than the text.
Can someone explain why this is happening? I thought it may be the dropdown boxes but I removed them and still no form loaded up.

Rails - how to save options chosen by user

I have two models: Meal and Tag. They are associated by HABTM. What I want to do is to add new meal. So I have new.html where is name field, preparation field, and all tags (represented by toggle-buttons - every tag has own toggle-button). User can clicked tags, which want to save in this meal.
And here is a problem. I can display all tags, but I have no idea how can I tell rails to save only clicked tags.
Could you help me find right approach?
oh, and there is a user too (user has many meals), but I thing it doesn't matter.
Here is my view:
<%= form_for(#meal,:html => {:class => "meal-data-form"}) do |f| %>
<%= render 'shared/error_messages', object: f.object%>
<%= f.label :name, "Nazwa *" %>
<%= f.text_field :name, class: 'form-control'%>
<%= f.label :preparation, "Sposób przyrządzenia" %>
<%= f.text_area :preparation, class: 'form-control' %>
<h3>Określ tagi dla tego posiłku</h3>
<div id="tags-associated-with-meal">
<h4>Rodzaj posiłku</h4>
<div id="associated-nutrient-tags">
<% current_user.nutrient_tags.each do |nutrient_tag| %>
<button id="associated-type-tag-<%= nutrient_tag.id %>" type="button" class="btn btn-primary" data-toggle="button" aria-pressed="false" autocomplete="off">
<%= nutrient_tag.name %>
</button>
<% end %>
</div>
</div>
<%= f.submit yield(:button_name), class: "btn btn-primary" %>
I would not use a toggle button to do this, I would probably use checkboxes.
This is what you would do if you used checkboxes:
<%= f.collection_check_boxes :nutrient_tags_ids, current_user.nutrient_tags, :id, :name do |b| %>
<div class="collection-check-box">
<%= b.check_box %>
<%= b.label %>
</div>
Here is something for reference: http://www.sitepoint.com/save-multiple-checkbox-values-database-rails/
And here is the Rails collection_check_boxes official documentation: http://apidock.com/rails/v4.0.2/ActionView/Helpers/FormOptionsHelper/collection_check_boxes
Hope that helps.

My rendered partial '_form' appears, but is not submitting

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?
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 %>
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.

Submit button not saving/updating changes Ruby on Rails

I have this form:
<fieldset data-model="idea-art" class="idea-edit">
<h2>Artwork Specs</h2>
<%= form_for #idea do |f| %>
<div data-attribute="art_status" class="edit-field">
<%= f.label :art_status, "Art Status" %>
<%= f.select :art_status, Idea::ART_STATUSES %>
</div>
<div data-attribute="artist" class="edit-field">
<%= f.label :artist_id, "Artist" %>
<%= f.select :artist_id, User.artists.collect{|x|[x.full_name, x.id]}, :include_blank =>
true %>
</div>
<div data-attribute="default_size" class="edit-field">
<%= f.label :default_artwork_id, "Default Artwork" %>
<%= f.select :default_artwork_id, #idea.artworks.collect{|x|[x.dimensions, x.id]},
:include_blank => true %>
</div>
<div data-attribute="colors_offered" class="edit-field">
<%= f.label :colors, 'Colors Offered' %>
<%= f.collection_select :color_ids, Color.master_colors.order(:name), :id, :name, {},
{multiple: true}%>
</div>
<div data-attribute="base" class="edit-field">
<%= f.label :base, "Base" %>
<%= f.check_box :base %>
</div>
<div data-attribute="special_instructions" class="edit-field">
<%= f.label :special_instructions, "Special Instructions" %>
<%= f.text_area :special_instructions %>
</div>
<div data-attribute="artwork" class="edit-field">
<%= f.fields_for :artworks do |artworks_f| %>
<%= render 'artwork_fields', f: artworks_f %>
<% end %>
<p>
<%= link_to_add_fields "Click To Add Artwork", f, :artworks %>
</p>
</div>
<%= f.submit %>
<%end%>
</fieldset>
when I click submit my changes are not updated. I have tried many things and nothing seems to work. I am new to ruby and have read the RailsGuide to form helpers and I still can't quite figure it out.
Is there something I am missing?
Thanks
Do you see the request in Rails server log? If so, look for a Rollback in the log, which might indicate that ur models are invalid, perhaps due to strong parameters settings. If the request is not making it to the server, inspect for javascript errors on the page, then make sure you're not using (or intend to use) ajax requests, in which case you might need to require jquery_ujs in application.js along with csrf_meta_tag in you layout.

Rails: best way to validate and display error messages for fields not in model

In my Rails 3 application I have a typical 'Email this to a friend' form that has yours/friend's email and name fields. Each of them must be validated and error messages must be displayed, in a fashion similar to ActiveRecord forms:
<%= form_tag %>
<div class="fields">
<%= label_tag :friends_name %>
<%= text_field_tag :friends_name, params[:friends_name] %>
<%= label_tag :friends_email %>
<%= text_field_tag :friends_email, params[:friends_email] %>
</div>
<div class="fields">
<%= label_tag :your_name %>
<%= text_field_tag :your_name, params[:your_name] %>
<%= label_tag :your_email %>
<%= text_field_tag :your_email, params[:your_email] %>
</div>
<div class="fields">
<%= label_tag :message %>
<%= text_area_tag :message, params[:message] %>
</div>
<%= submit_tag 'Send'%>
</form>
What would be the 'Rails way' of doing this?
I found the answer in the episode #219 - Active Model on railscasts.com
