a(href = "") click to toggle source

Generate an Anchor element as a string.

href can either be a string, giving the URL for the HREF attribute, or it can be a hash of the element's attributes.

The body of the element is the string returned by the no-argument block passed in.

a("http://www.example.com") { "Example" }
  # => "<A HREF=\"http://www.example.com\">Example</A>"

a("HREF" => "http://www.example.com", "TARGET" => "_top") { "Example" }
  # => "<A HREF=\"http://www.example.com\" TARGET=\"_top\">Example</A>"

 
               # File cgi/html.rb, line 97
def a(href = "") # :yield:
  attributes = if href.kind_of?(String)
                 { "HREF" => href }
               else
                 href
               end
  super(attributes)
end

base(href = "") click to toggle source

Generate a Document Base URI element as a String.

href can either by a string, giving the base URL for the HREF attribute, or it can be a has of the element's attributes.

The passed-in no-argument block is ignored.

base("http://www.example.com/cgi")
  # => "<BASE HREF=\"http://www.example.com/cgi\">"

 
               # File cgi/html.rb, line 115
def base(href = "") # :yield:
  attributes = if href.kind_of?(String)
                 { "HREF" => href }
               else
                 href
               end
  super(attributes)
end

blockquote(cite = {}) click to toggle source

Generate a BlockQuote element as a string.

cite can either be a string, give the URI for the source of the quoted text, or a hash, giving all attributes of the element, or it can be omitted, in which case the element has no attributes.

The body is provided by the passed-in no-argument block

blockquote("http://www.example.com/quotes/foo.html") { "Foo!" }
  #=> "<BLOCKQUOTE CITE=\"http://www.example.com/quotes/foo.html\">Foo!</BLOCKQUOTE>

 
               # File cgi/html.rb, line 134
def blockquote(cite = {})  # :yield:
  attributes = if cite.kind_of?(String)
                 { "CITE" => cite }

align can be a string, giving the alignment of the caption (one of top, bottom, left, or right). It can be a hash of all the attributes of the element. Or it can be omitted.

The body of the element is provided by the passed-in no-argument block.

caption("left") { "Capital Cities" }
  # => <CAPTION ALIGN=\"left\">Capital Cities</CAPTION>

 
               # File cgi/html.rb, line 154
def caption(align = {}) # :yield:
  attributes = if align.kind_of?(String)
                 { "ALIGN" => align }
               else

               end
  super(attributes)
end

checkbox(name = "", value = nil, checked = nil) click to toggle source

Generate a Checkbox Input element as a string.

The attributes of the element can be specified as three arguments, name, value, and checked. checked is a boolean value; if true, the CHECKED attribute will be included in the element.

Alternatively, the attributes can be specified as a hash.

checkbox("name")
  # = checkbox("NAME" => "name")

checkbox("name", "value")
  # = checkbox("NAME" => "name", "VALUE" => "value")

checkbox("name", "value", true)
  # = checkbox("NAME" => "name", "VALUE" => "value", "CHECKED" => true)

 
               # File cgi/html.rb, line 180
def checkbox(name = "", value = nil, checked = nil)
  attributes = if name.kind_of?(String)
                 { "TYPE" => "checkbox", "NAME" => name,
                   "VALUE" => value, "CHECKED" => checked }
               else
                 name["TYPE"] = "checkbox"
                 name
               end
  input(attributes)
end

checkbox_group(name = "", *values) click to toggle source

Generate a sequence of checkbox elements, as a String.

The checkboxes will all have the same name attribute. Each checkbox is followed by a label. There will be one checkbox for each value. Each value can be specified as a String, which will be used both as the value of the VALUE attribute and as the label for that checkbox. A single-element array has the same effect.

Each value can also be specified as a three-element array. The first element is the VALUE attribute; the second is the label; and the third is a boolean specifying whether this checkbox is CHECKED.

Each value can also be specified as a two-element array, by omitting either the value element (defaults to the same as the label), or the boolean checked element (defaults to false).

checkbox_group("name", "foo", "bar", "baz")
  # <INPUT TYPE="checkbox" NAME="name" VALUE="foo">foo
  # <INPUT TYPE="checkbox" NAME="name" VALUE="bar">bar
  # <INPUT TYPE="checkbox" NAME="name" VALUE="baz">baz

checkbox_group("name", ["foo"], ["bar", true], "baz")
  # <INPUT TYPE="checkbox" NAME="name" VALUE="foo">foo
  # <INPUT TYPE="checkbox" CHECKED NAME="name" VALUE="bar">bar
  # <INPUT TYPE="checkbox" NAME="name" VALUE="baz">baz

checkbox_group("name", ["1", "Foo"], ["2", "Bar", true], "Baz")
  # <INPUT TYPE="checkbox" NAME="name" VALUE="1">Foo
  # <INPUT TYPE="checkbox" CHECKED NAME="name" VALUE="2">Bar
  # <INPUT TYPE="checkbox" NAME="name" VALUE="Baz">Baz

checkbox_group("NAME" => "name",
                 "VALUES" => ["foo", "bar", "baz"])

checkbox_group("NAME" => "name",
                 "VALUES" => [["foo"], ["bar", true], "baz"])

checkbox_group("NAME" => "name",
                 "VALUES" => [["1", "Foo"], ["2", "Bar", true], "Baz"])

 
               # File cgi/html.rb, line 234
def checkbox_group(name = "", *values)
  if name.kind_of?(Hash)
    values = name["VALUES"]
    name = name["NAME"]
  end
  values.collect{|value|
    if value.kind_of?(String)
      checkbox(name, value) + value
    else
      if value[-1] == true || value[-1] == false
        checkbox(name, value[0],  value[-1]) +
        value[-2]
      else
        checkbox(name, value[0]) +
        value[-1]
      end
    end
  }.join
end

file_field(name = "", size = 20, maxlength = nil) click to toggle source

Generate an File Upload Input element as a string.

The attributes of the element can be specified as three arguments, name, size, and maxlength. maxlength is the maximum length of the file’s name, not of the file’s contents.

Alternatively, the attributes can be specified as a hash.

See multipart_form() for forms that include file uploads.

file_field("name")
  # <INPUT TYPE="file" NAME="name" SIZE="20">

file_field("name", 40)
  # <INPUT TYPE="file" NAME="name" SIZE="40">

file_field("name", 40, 100)
  # <INPUT TYPE="file" NAME="name" SIZE="40" MAXLENGTH="100">

file_field("NAME" => "name", "SIZE" => 40)
  # <INPUT TYPE="file" NAME="name" SIZE="40">

 
               # File cgi/html.rb, line 276
def file_field(name = "", size = 20, maxlength = nil)
  attributes = if name.kind_of?(String)
                 { "TYPE" => "file", "NAME" => name,
                   "SIZE" => size.to_s }

  input(attributes)
end

form(method = "post", action = script_name, enctype = "application/x-www-form-urlencoded") click to toggle source

Alternatively, the attributes can be specified as a hash.

See also multipart_form() for forms that include file uploads.

form{ "string" }
  # <FORM METHOD="post" ENCTYPE="application/x-www-form-urlencoded">string</FORM>

end

hidden(name = "", value = nil) click to toggle source

Generate a Hidden Input element as a string.

The attributes of the element can be specified as two arguments, name and value.

Alternatively, the attributes can be specified as a hash.

hidden("name")
  # <INPUT TYPE="hidden" NAME="name">

hidden("name", "value")
  # <INPUT TYPE="hidden" NAME="name" VALUE="value">

hidden("NAME" => "name", "VALUE" => "reset", "ID" => "foo")

               end
  input(attributes)
end

popup_menu(name = "", *values) click to toggle source

Generate a Select element as a string.

name is the name of the element. The values are the options that can be selected from the Select menu. Each value can be a String or a one, two, or three-element Array. If a String or a one-element Array, this is both the value of that option and the text displayed for it. If a three-element Array, the elements are the option value, displayed text, and a boolean value specifying whether this option starts as selected. The two-element version omits either the option value (defaults to the same as the display text) or the boolean selected specifier (defaults to false).

The attributes and options can also be specified as a hash. In this case, options are specified as an array of values as described above, with the hash key of “VALUES”.

    multiple = name["MULTIPLE"]
    name     = name["NAME"]
  else
    size = nil
    multiple = nil
  end

  select({ "NAME" => name, "SIZE" => size,
           "MULTIPLE" => multiple }){
    values.collect{|value|
      if value.kind_of?(String)
        option({ "VALUE" => value }){ value }
      else
        if value[value.size - 1] == true
          option({ "VALUE" => value[0], "SELECTED" => true }){
            value[value.size - 2]
          }
        else
          option({ "VALUE" => value[0] }){
            value[value.size - 1]
          }
        end
      end
    }.join
  }

reset("VALUE" => "reset", "ID" => "foo")
  # <INPUT TYPE="reset" VALUE="reset" ID="foo">

 
               # File cgi/html.rb, line 720
def reset(value = nil, name = nil)
  attributes = if (not value) or value.kind_of?(String)
                 { "TYPE" => "reset", "VALUE" => value, "NAME" => name }
               else
                 value["TYPE"] = "reset"
                 value
               end
  input(attributes)
end
