How to put into "f.submit" helper some HTML code?

Question

If I need to add something into link_to helper, there's a way to do that this way:

= link_to path do
 inner content

But this approach doesn't work for f.submit helper. I would need to add there some HTML entities. How to do that?

What kind of inner content would you want to add? Can't this be appended / prepended to the ``f.submit`` call? — lipanski, Jan 20 '14 at 09:29

I'm afraid you can't. <input type="submit" /> is a button, as specified here: http://www.w3.org/wiki/HTML/Elements/input/submit. HTML buttons can't display arbitrary content.

Instead you could build a link tag (or whatever tag you want) and then attach a click handler to it which will submit the form with javascript.
