Incorrect element movement broke layout (`form_with`/Turbo)
Task: Move "Delete Selected" button to top, next to "Log New Learning".
Issue: Initial attempt incorrectly moved the entire learnings list (which was inside the form_with
) along with the button form, breaking the layout significantly.
Resolution: I reverted the changes and restructured the view (learnings/index.html.erb
). I moved only the submit button (<input type="submit">
) into the top .actions
div. Then, I ensured the main form_with
tag wrapped the entire area containing both the actions/button *and* the list with checkboxes.
Learning: I learned to be careful when moving elements within complex form structures (form_with
), especially those interacting with Turbo Frames or Streams. I need to ensure only the intended element is relocated and that the form still correctly encompasses all necessary inputs (checkboxes, submit button). Incorrect nesting can break form submission or layout.
