it ignores the :title for some reason <input type="text" size="30" name="user[email]" id="user_email" class="autoclear">

You've got something mucking with your output. Maybe a plugin or a form builder? On a clean Rails 2.3.5 app with the following view....

<% @foo = Foo.new %> <% form_for @foo do |f| %>   <%= f.text_field :name, :title => 'my title' %> <% end %>

... gives me this...

  <input id="foo_name" name="foo[name]" size="30" title="my title" type="text" />
