Strange TextArea Bug
For a while now, my Ruby application has been plagued with a strange bug in text area fields. Whenever a user updated text in a text area field, 5 spaces would be prepended to the text. If the user hit the update field a few times, you would see the text scoot along to the right 5 spaces at a time. Very strange indeed.
For a while, I thought the problem was somwhere in my CSS file. But, the solution was found by using a Ruby tag instead of the equivilent HTML tag in my Views files.
Replace this:
{text_area_tag("table[column]", @table.column, :size => "100x15")}
With this:
{textarea rows="15" name="table[column]" cols="100"}
{%= @table.column %}
{/textarea}
