Thanks will try both suggestions and let you know what comes of it. I actaully noticed the problem becuase my time column in one of my models was not getting saved. It kept being save as nil. Could the problem relate to different databases being used? On my local, I use sqlite vesus PostGre on Heroku. Really, all I am trying to do is using a javascrpt plugin to allow users to choose a time and date which comes in the form of "day/month/year hour:minute am/pm" and then save it to the db.
It seems strange non one else has come accross this... make me think it is something specific to what I am doing. Will keep you posted.
