Formatting Button Position with Form_For

- by Tian

I am using form_for to create a form that has 1 input field and 1 button. I'd like the submit button to be beside the input field rather than underneath it. Relevant code is: .input{border: 1px solid #666666; width:400px; height:22px;font-size:16px;} <td width="900" height="50" align="left" valign="middle"> <% form_for @contact, :url => {:action => "create"}, :html => {:class => "input"} do |f| %> <%= f.text_field :email, :size=> 74 %> <%= image_submit_tag '2009-12-06-Landing1.gif' %> <% end %> </td>

The first session of the today in the big world forum theater was from Scott Hanselman, he gives a lap around .NET 4.0. In his way of presenting he talked about all kind of new features of .NET 4.0 like MEF, threading, parallel processing, changes and additions to the CLR and DLR, WPF and all new language features of .NET 4.0. After a small break it was ready for session 2 from Scott Allen about Tips, Tricks and Optimizations of LINQ.

The lunch was again very good prepared and delicious, but after that it was time for session 3 Web Vulnerabilities and Exploits from Alex Thissen. This was no normal session but more like a workshop, we decided what kind of subjects we discussed, the subjects where OWASP, XSS and other injections, validation, encoding. He gave some handy tips and tricks how to prevent such attacks. Session 4 was about the new features of C# 4.0 from Alex van Beek. He talked about Optional- en Named Parameters, Generic Co- en Contra Variance, Dynamic keyword and COM Interop features. He showed how to use them but also when not to use them.
