I''m using this form in an edit page to update a person. For some weird
reason, when I view this form in the browser... The text field''s value
is
set to the person''s firstname, but it does not display in the browser.
The form works perfectly on Windows (the values are visible in the browser),
but not on Ubuntu Linux. I''m using the same environment setup; same
Ruby,
Rails, and gems versions..
<% form_for @person do |f| %>
<label for="person_firstname">First Name</label>
<%= text_field :person,
:firstname, :class => "textbox", :size => "30%" %>
<br />
<%= submit_tag "Update Person", :class => "button
button-right" %>
<% end %>

Firefox for Linux is not _exactly_ the same code as Firefox for Windows and the place they differ most is in the parser. You have a class. Move the :size element out of inline styling and into your css and I''d bet a nickle your problem goes away.

Copy the complete text of the page (View, Page source or simiilar in browser) and paste into the w3c html validator (google will find it).

You might need to keep that nickel Bill (: I''ve removed all the :size elements from the form and validated the page XHTML strict using W3C''s validator. Yet, the values are not displayed. The values are in the HTML, just not being displayed in the text boxes and text area for some reason. On a related note, I have a drop down and it''s value IS set to the object''s attribute.

I feel quite stupid now.. Apparently, I had some JQuery for a search textbox whose job involved incorrectly blanking out all input:text in the page... Didn''t realize it until I simplified the page as much as possible.

That would do it. Meanwhile, if you are using form_for, you should do this: <%= f.text_field :first_name %> The f knows it refers to the person record because you told it so with form_for...
