Render and parse problems when using with <script/> templates

[stackus]

When a validated form is put into a <script/> template the extra <script> var ... {...}; </script> closes the original script tag early.

Example:

%script{:type => "text/html"}
  = form_for Person.new :validate => true do |f|
    = f.text_field :name

What is finally rendered is a script tag surrounding another script tag. Could the gem be changed to allow the user to choose to have the script contents be sent to content_for and the symbol of their choosing?

That's an interesting proposal. I'm not opposed to this but I'm not certain how the API would look. Maybe something like this:

= form_for @person, :validate => :person do |f|
  = f.text_field :name

The idea is to pass something other than true. If that is the case then the user would have to manually do:

= content_for :person

Thoughts?

After posting the issue I wanted to see if what I asked was possible so I got into the gem source and monkey patched in some code and that's what I ended up doing.

Ok, I think API I proposed makes sense. I'll add it. Thanks for the feed back :)

There you go :)
