I have to add Wufoo-like WYSIWYG form-builder functionality to a Rails webapp.

Does anyone know of good resources (gems/engines/plugins/example code) that would help?

A: 

I don't think creating such a app in rails would be a great idea.

Using AR, such an app would be creating migrations on the fly - which doesn't sound like a great thing to do.

AFAIK, wufoo uses php.

Hello,

this is not really an answer to your question, but I still can't add comments unfortunately, due to my reputation level, sorry :)

There is exact equivalent of such functionality in Drupal(php) http://drupal.org/project/webform especially useful for contact forms, i.e. clients happy and don't bug me every time they want to adjust or even to add new inquiry form :)

Would be nice to have such gem/plugin if any? :P

Thanks.

Interesting, I'll have to check it out. Maybe someone could work on porting that to Rails…

NYT did it [Building a Better Submission Form](http://open.blogs.nytimes.com/2010/05/25/building-a-better-submission-form/) maybe they will share **Stuffy** with us? :P
