Rails - Sep 2007 - Setting default value in text_field/password_field

I am trying to set a default value in a text_field form.  I know how
to do this in html, but is there a way to do
this with form_for

Here is my code

<% form_for :user do |f| -%>

<p><label for="firstname"%>First
Name</label><br/>
<%= f.text_field :firstname%></p>
...
<p><label for ="email"%>Email</label><br/>
<%=f.text_field :email %></p>

<p><label
for="password"%>Password</label><br/>
<%=f.password_field :password %></p>
...
<p><%= submit_tab ''Sign up'' %></p>
<% end -%>

I would like to produce something of this type for both text_field and
password_field
<input type="text" name = "email"
value="something-ejp3exJ1mLY@public.gmane.org"
method="post">
Any ideas???

Hi, you should be able to do the following as stated in the Rails Framework
Documentation:

<%= f.text_field :email,  options => { :value =>
"something-ejp3exJ1mLY@public.gmane.org" } %>

Good luck,

-Conrad

The initial values will be taken from @user, so populate that
(typically in the controller) before rendering your template.

   @user = User.new(:email = "something-ejp3exJ1mLY@public.gmane.org")
   ... then render the template
