how to add html id to rails form_tag

Question

I am using Rails 2.2.2 and I would like to add an id to the html form code generated by the form_tag.

<% form_tag session_path do -%>      
<% end -%&g         


        

Answer 1

This code

form_tag(:controller => "people", :action => "search", :method => "get", :class => "nifty_form")

give as result:

But, if you use this structure

form_tag({:controller => "people", :action => "search"}, :method => "get", :class => "nifty_form")

you will get as result

and it's exactly what you want
