Rails label helper for forms
When creating forms I get tired of creating labels for each field so I like to shorten my typing by using this application helper.
then later on in your view you type
1 2 def l(id,label) 3 "<label for='#{id}'>#{label}</label>" 4 end
then later on in your view you type
1 2 <%= l('my_field_id','My Label') %>

Ruby U.S. States Drop Down (Abbreviated)
Ruby hash of abbreviated states for <select> field in form. If you don't do the input field with a rails form helper and use regular html instead rails won't wrap the field with the <div class="fieldWithErrors"> tag when validation fails. It's easier to fix validation this way rather than dig through the base validation code and keeps your forms cleaner anyways.
1 2 <%= f.select :state, ['AK', 3 'AL', 4 'AR', 5 'AZ', 6 'CA', 7 'CO', 8 'CT', 9 'DC', 10 'DE', 11 'FL', 12 'GA', 13 'HI', 14 'IA', 15 'ID', 16 'IL', 17 'IN', 18 'KS', 19 'KY', 20 'LA', 21 'MA', 22 'MD', 23 'ME', 24 'MI', 25 'MN', 26 'MO', 27 'MS', 28 'MT', 29 'NC', 30 'ND', 31 'NE', 32 'NH', 33 'NJ', 34 'NM', 35 'NV', 36 'NY', 37 'OH', 38 'OK', 39 'OR', 40 'PA', 41 'RI', 42 'SC', 43 'SD', 44 'TN', 45 'TX', 46 'UT', 47 'VA', 48 'VT', 49 'WA', 50 'WI', 51 'WV', 52 'WY'], 53 :include_blank => true %>

Rails Image Tag Rollover Helper
1 2 <%= image_tag "/images/btn-off.jpg", :mouseover => "/images/btn-on.jpg" %>
which translates into...
1 2 <img alt="btn-off" onmouseout="this.src='/images/btn-off.jpg?1210954796'" 3 onmouseover="this.src='/images/btn-on.jpg?1210954851'" 4 src="/images/btn-off.jpg?1210954796" />
now with a link wrapped around the image tag
1 2 <%= link_to image_tag("/images/btn-off.jpg", :mouseover => "/images/btn-on.jpg"), :action => "perform" %>
and also as an image submit button for a form
1 2 <%= image_submit_tag "/images/btn-off.jpg", :mouseover => "/images/btn-on.jpg"%>
