Ruby on Rails Sunday, July 23, 2017

I don't know if what I am about to describe is a Rails, HTML, browser of some other issue.

My problem: Sometimes the input fields of the following form are pre-filled with things I did not set ... like vales from a previous, uh, filling.

Here's my .erb code taken - more-or-less - from devise-4.3.0/lib/generators/templates/simple_form_for/registrations/new.html.erb
<div class='ralph-h2'>Sign up</div>

<%= form_for(resource, as: resource_name, url: registration_path(resource_name)) do |f| %>
 
<%= devise_error_messages! %>

 
<div class="field">
   
<%= f.label :email %>
   
<div><em>Required (e.g. me@SomeDomain.com)</em></div>
   
<%= f.email_field :email, required: true, autofocus: true, value: " " %>
 
</div>

 
<br />

 
<div class="field">
   
<%= f.label :name %>
   
<div><em>Optional</em></div>
   
<%= f.text_field :name, value: "This is silly" %>
 
</div>

 
<br />

 
<div class="field">
   
<%= f.label :password %>
   
<% if @minimum_password_length %>
     
<em>(<%= @minimum_password_length %> characters minimum)</em>
   
<% end %><br />
   
<%= f.password_field :password,  required: true, autocomplete: "off" %>
 
</div>

 
<div class="field">
   
<%= f.label :password_confirmation %><br />
   
<%= f.password_field :password_confirmation,  required: true, autocomplete: "off" %>
 
</div>

 
<div class="actions">
   
<%= f.submit "Sign up" %>
 
</div>
<% end %>

<%= render "devise/shared/links" %>


Note, for instance,
  <%= f.text_field :name, value: "This is silly" %>

Sometimes the input value is "This is silly" and sometimes it's a value a user previously entered.

How do I force the value "This is silly" every time the user refreshes the screen?
