Rails - Display Form inline

I'm having trouble displaying a Rails form in a horizontal line.

I have a view, it contains a table, w/ in a table cell I render a partial containing the form I want to be inlined:

View:

  <tr>
    <td>
        <%= @user.name %>           
    </td>   
    <td>
        <a href="#">Add Item</a>
    </td>
    <td>
        <%= render :partial => '/items/new_item' %>
    </td>
  </tr>
</table>

Partial (Form):

<%= form_for( Item.new ) do |f| %>
        <div class="field">
            <%= f.text_field :content %>
 开发者_StackOverflow       </div>
        <div class="action">
            <%= f.submit "Add Item", :class => 'item_submit' %>
        </div>
<% end %>

I have tried:

form{
    display:inline;
    padding: 0px;
}

And also creating a Unordered list w/in the form, and making the text field and submit button list items, then in the css making the list inline. This didn't work either.

Thanks for the help!

If I understand you correct, you could try to use span instead of div, or set display:inline for div, not for form.

You could always float the divs in the form I.e.

form > div { float:left: display:inline-block;}

This worked for me:

<%= form_tag some_controller_path, method: 'POST', class: 'form-inline', style: 'display:inline !important;' do %>

... your form code here

<% end %>
