I've noticed that if I use the numericality validator and the user enters, for example "1234ABCD" it'll come back with a "not a number" error, but it then fills the input box with "1234", discarding the non- numeric input the user originally put in.
I've seen a similar question about this in this group, but the poster was looking for a way to completely blank the number upon return. I want something different - I'd like the original value to be displayed, which seems more logical to me. What worries me about having it auto-strip the non-numeric stuff is, if a user has a couple of validation problems in the form, they may fix other ones, not noticing the numeric, which will now happily post because it's been turned into a number automagically by Rails - and maybe not the number that was intended. I'm afraid it may be impossible since I think it's actually the input parser doing this and not the validator, but does anyone know how to make the original value come back instead of the parsed?
