Module: CGI::HtmlExtension

Defined in:
lib/cgi/html.rb

Overview

Mixin module providing HTML generation methods.

For example,

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

Modules Html3, Html4, etc., contain more basic HTML-generation methods (#title, #h1, etc.).

See class CGI for a detailed example.

Instance Method Details

#a(href = "") ⇒ Object

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>"

#checkbox(name = "", value = nil, checked = nil) ⇒ Object

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)

                 name
               end
  input(attributes)
end

#checkbox_group(name = "", *values) ⇒ Object

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"])

                 "VALUES" => [["1", "Foo"], ["2", "Bar", true], "Baz"])

#file_field(name = "", size = 20, maxlength = nil) ⇒ Object

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)

end

#form(method = "post", action = script_name, enctype = "application/x-www-form-urlencoded") ⇒ Object

Generate a Form element as a string.

method should be either “get” or “post”, and defaults to the latter. action defaults to the current CGI script name. enctype defaults to “application/x-www-form-urlencoded”.

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>

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

#password_field(name = "", value = nil, size = 40, maxlength = nil) ⇒ Object

Generate a Password Input element as a string.

name is the name of the input field. value is its default value. size is the size of the input field display. maxlength is the maximum length of the inputted password.

#popup_menu(name = "", *values) ⇒ Object Also known as: scrolling_list

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”.

popup_menu("name", "foo", "bar", "baz")
  # <SELECT NAME="name">
  #   <OPTION VALUE="foo">foo</OPTION>
  #   <OPTION VALUE="bar">bar</OPTION>
  #   <OPTION VALUE="baz">baz</OPTION>

#radio_button(name = "", value = nil, checked = nil) ⇒ Object

Generates a radio-button Input element.

name is the name of the input field. value is the value of the field if checked. checked specifies whether the field starts off checked.

Alternatively, the attributes can be specified as a hash.

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

radio_button("name", "value", true)
  # <INPUT TYPE="radio" NAME="name" VALUE="value" CHECKED>

radio_button("NAME" => "name", "VALUE" => "value", "ID" => "foo")
  # <INPUT TYPE="radio" NAME="name" VALUE="value" ID="foo">

#radio_group(name = "", *values) ⇒ Object

Generate a sequence of radio button Input elements, as a String.

This works the same as #checkbox_group(). However, it is not valid to have more than one radiobutton in a group checked.

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

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

radio_group("NAME" => "name",

radio_group("NAME" => "name",

#reset(value = nil, name = nil) ⇒ Object

Generate a reset button Input element, as a String.

This resets the values on a form to their initial values. value is the text displayed on the button. name is the name of this button.

Alternatively, the attributes can be specified as a hash.

reset
  # <INPUT TYPE="reset">

reset("reset")
  # <INPUT TYPE="reset" VALUE="reset">

#submit(value = nil, name = nil) ⇒ Object

Generate a submit button Input element, as a String.

value is the text to display on the button. name is the name of the input.

Alternatively, the attributes can be specified as a hash.

submit
  # <INPUT TYPE="submit">

submit("ok")
  # <INPUT TYPE="submit" VALUE="ok">

submit("ok", "button1")

#text_field(name = "", value = nil, size = 40, maxlength = nil) ⇒ Object

Generate a text field Input element, as a String.

name is the name of the input field. value is its initial value. size is the size of the input area. maxlength is the maximum length of input accepted.

Alternatively, the attributes can be specified as a hash.

text_field("name")

#textarea(name = "", cols = 70, rows = 10) ⇒ Object

Generate a TextArea element, as a String.

name is the name of the textarea. cols is the number of columns and rows is the number of rows in the display.

Alternatively, the attributes can be specified as a hash.

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