Using form_for tag with get method

Answer 1

You can pass the raw HTML attributes using :html if you need to. For Rails 3:

<%= form_for(@post_filter, :url=> filter_path, :html => { :method => 'GET' }) do |f| %>

Update and in Rails 4, per @andre.orvalho's suggestion below, the method parameter can be supplied directly:

<%= form_for(@post_filter, url: filter_path, method: :get ) do |f| %>
