[Ruby] ruby on rails, formatting check_box

[Frank Schwieterman]

  Hi I'm new to Ruby on Rails, working on my first project for educational
purposes.  The coding is fun but I'm getting hung up on page layout.  :(
This is a rails specific question but I thought I'd try the Seattle alias.

  I have some questions about the check_box forms helper.  Documentation is
here:
http://api.rubyonrails.com/classes/ActionView/Helpers/FormHelper.html#M000501

  I'm trying to fit a bunch of form controls into a wide + narrow area.  I
don't want the checkbox to be on line and the label to be on another due to
linesplitting.  As my checkbox is now, it can be split.  I have in
_form.rhtml:

<label for="content_segment_needs_review">Needs review</label>
<%= check_box 'content_segment', 'needs_review', {}, "1", "0"  %>

which produces HTML:

<label for="content_segment_needs_review">Needs review</label>
<input id="content_segment_needs_review"
name="content_segment[needs_review]" type="checkbox" value="1" /><input
name="content_segment[needs_review]" type="hidden" value="0" />

The text in <label> can be split on a different line from <input>.  I would
prefer the below to be generated, as the label cannot be split from the
checkbox.  Anyone have any ideas?


<input id="content_segment_needs_review"
name="content_segment[needs_review]" type="checkbox" value="1">Needs
Review</input>


The documentation for check_box indicates their is an options parameter but
does not document what options are allowed.  Perhaps it can be used.  I'm
also curious what the second hidden input is for.
