why is my text_field getting a default value of current_user.email?
I have a form containing a text field along the lines of: <%= form_for(wizard, :url => wizard_path, :method => :put) do |f| %> .... <%= form.text_field "gas_credentials[user_id]", :value => wizard.gas_credentials[''user_id''] %> .... <% end %> Mysteriously, when wizard.gas_credentials is nil, the text_field gets initial text equal to the current_user.email (which in this case is admin-OMsI0saeytcAvxtiuMwx3w@public.gmane.org). At the very least, I''d expect an error trying to call [] on nil. What''s especially odd is that the wizard model knows nothing about current_user, so I don''t see where it''s getting that value from. Can anyone shed light on what might be happening, or at least how text_field decides to compute its :value?

Doh! The answer: browser autocompletion. I''m leaving this post in place rather than deleting it out of shame in the faint hope that it might save someone else a few minutes of head scratching. -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.

[silly forum code won''t let me edit previous reply.] To prevent autocompletion, you can do something like: <%= form.text_field "gas_credentials[user_id]", :value => wizard.gas_credentials[''user_id''], :autocomplete => :off %> -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.
