:disable_with is deprecated

carlosbrando · Jun 7, 20122 thanks

Or you can use this way:

<%= submit_tag "Login", data: { disable_with: "Please wait.." } %>

:disable_with is deprecated

boblin · Jun 5, 20121 thank

Since version 3.2.5 you should not use :disable_with.

Use this: <%= submit_tag "Login", 'data-disable-with' => "Please wait.." %>

Have submit_tag send value as a nested resource

To have the submit_tag send it's value within a nested resource for strong params use the name paramter.

submit_tag("Send", name: 'article[submit]')
