Question

Here is my code in my ask.haml file:

 %form{:action => "/calendar", :method => "post"}
            .inputRow
              %label How many days in a row do you work?
              %input#on{:name => "on", :tabindex => "1", :title => "Number of days in a row you work", :type => "text", :value => "4", :id=> "on"}/
            .inputRow
              %label How many days in a row are you off?
              %input#off{:name => "off", :tabindex => "2", :title => "Number of days in a row you're off", :type => "text", :value => "3", :id=> "off"}/
            .inputRow
              %label When is the start of your next block off?
              %input#date{:name => "date", :tabindex => "3", :title => "Start of your next block off", :type => "text", :value => "8/31/2011", :id=> "date"}/
            %button#button{:type => "submit"}

And, when I run this on my local machine using either shotgun or just plain ruby and run the main .rb file it rends like such:

<form action='/calendar' method='post'> 
          <div class='inputRow'> 
            <label>How many days in a row do you work?</label> 
            <input id='on_on' name='on' tabindex='1' title='Number of days in a row you work' type='text' value='4' /> 
          </div> 
          <div class='inputRow'> 
            <label>How many days in a row are you off?</label> 
            <input id='off_off' name='off' tabindex='2' title="Number of days in a row you're off" type='text' value='3' /> 
          </div> 
          <div class='inputRow'> 
            <label>When is the start of your next block off?</label> 
            <input id='date_date' name='date' tabindex='3' title='Start of your next block off' type='text' value='8/31/2011' /> 
          </div> 
          <button id='button' type='submit'></button> 
        </form> 

But, when I upload it to my server (webfaction) and restart nginx even, I get this:

<form> 
        <div class="inputRow"><label>How many days in a row do you work?</label><input type="text" name="on" value="" id="on"  tabindex="1" placeholder="4" title="Number of days in a row you work" /></div> 
        <div class="inputRow"><label>How many days in a row are you off?</label><input type="text" name="off" value="" id="off"  tabindex="2" placeholder="3" title="Number of days in a row you're off" /></div> 
        <div class="inputRow"><label>When's the start of your next block off?</label><input type="text" name="on" value="" id="on"  tabindex="3" placeholder="8/31/2011" title="Start of your next block off" /></div> 
        <button type="submit" id="button"></button> 
        </form> 

The post and which page to direct it to are missing. Any ideas on how to even get started trouble shooting this? Thanks in advance.

UPDATE: As I’ve dug into this a bit more, it looks like nginx is loading an older file called ask.haml. I’ve confirmed the newer file is on the server.

Sounds like you may have the html cached in your browser. Try opening a different browser (or explicitly emptying your browser cacche) and aiming it at your production app.
