Ruby on Rails

im currently trying to implement a form with several buttons, and my
solution for that was to make a full form for each of the 5 buttons.
thats extremely repetitive, so i wanted to generate the forms with a
helper function that i define myself, but i cant make it work.

my form method:

module ApplicationHelper
def raw_datum_new_helper(status)

form_for(@raw_datum) do |f|
if @raw_datum.errors.any?
"<div id='error_explanation'>"
"<h2>#{pluralize(@raw_datum.errors.count, "error"})prohibited
this raw_datum from being saved:</h2>"
"<ul>"
@raw_datum.errors.full_messages.each do |msg|
"<li>#{msg}</li>
#{end}
</ul>
</div>"
<% end %>

"<div class='field'>"
#{f.hidden_field :timestamp, :value => Time.now.to_s[0,16]
f.hidden_field :status, :value => status}
</div><div class='actions'>"
f.submit :value => status
"</div>"
end

end
end

my errors when calling <%= raw_datum_new_helper("ins Bett gelegt") %>:
/home/rynnon/workspace-ruby/sleepdata/app/helpers/application_helper.rb:15:
syntax error, unexpected '}', expecting ')'
...aw_datum.errors.count, "error"})prohibited this raw_datum fr...

</ul>

/home/rynnon/workspace-ruby/sleepdata/app/helpers/application_helper.rb:24:

'('
"<div class='field'>"
^
/home/rynnon/workspace-ruby/sleepdata/app/helpers/application_helper.rb:30:
syntax error, unexpected keyword_end, expecting '}'


Does anyone have an idea as to how to go about this?
