Rails: Resetting form fields with page refresh

Answer 1

You need to set the 'autocomplete' option off - this tells the browser that you don't want the field to autocomplete.

An example is here: http://mspeight.blogspot.com/2007/06/disable-browsers-autocomplete-on-rails.html

You can also do the same thing, but just turn off autocomplete for specific fields.

In other words, the form is not getting refreshed, because the browser is trying to be helpful by putting in the last data the customer used. You need to tell the browser to stop trying to be helpful. You're already providing the right data.
