TextArea Parameter

[Jan Yo]

Given the following code:

form_tag ....
text_area :val, params[:val]
submit_tag...
end


Is there a way to change to

text_area :xx

but keep :val as the parameter that is passed to the backend? That is,
I want to change the id but the parameter name.

In case you didn't get that here's an example:

<%= f.text_area :description, { id: "my_description" } %>
=> <textarea id="my_description" name="person[description]"></textarea>

If you wan't to override any of the defaults you can pass what you want
in the "options" hash.
