Hi,
This works for me:
<div metal:fill-slot="content" tal:replace="structure
here/forms/frmStudentLayout/render">FORM</div>
That works well for rendering the form. Thank you.
...
This also works for me:
Username:<br>
<span tal:condition="python:request.REQUEST_METHOD == 'POST'"
tal:content="structure python:formErrors['username']" tal:on-error="string:"
style="color:red">error goes here</span>
<input tal:attributes="value request/field_username" tal:on-error="string:"
name="field_username" type="text" id="field_username">
<br>
where formErrors is
global formErrors python:container.check_form(container.form.login)
form is once again a "form folder" and login is a formulator object.
and this is where I got my inspiration

Yes. I saw that too in my research. But I am not looking to authenticate 
users. The validation I seek is that which is built into Formulator but 
doesn't seem to work with TAL.

Of much_greater_importance is getting the fields to render. In other words, 
after the visitor has filled out the form, I need to be able to call and 
use those fields. For example, how do I thank the visitor by name using 
TAL? How do I do the equivalent of this:
<dtml-var your_name>
TIA,

Hope this helps ;O)

Subject: [ZPT] Formulator Problem
Hi;
I have the following code in a ZPT page:
<table tal:define="form here/email_us_formulator" align=center>
   <tr tal:define="yourname request/YourName|nothing">
    <th align="left">
     <font tal:attributes="size python:here.sizeCalc2(5,here.size())"><font
face="verdana"><b>
      Your Name:
     </b></font></font>
    </th>
    <td><input type="text" name="YourName"
               tal:replace="structure
python:form.YourName.render(yourname)">
    </td>
  </tr>
...etc.
This renders like this:
<table align="center">
   <tr>
    <th align="left">
     <font size="4"><font face="verdana"><b>
      Your Name:
     </b></font></font>
    </th>
    <td><input size="20" value="" type="text" name="field_YourName"  />
    </td>
  </tr>
...etc.
When the form is submitted, it goes to a page with the following code:
Thank you, <p tal:replace="structure
python:here.email_us_formulator.YourName">YourName</p>!
and renders like this:
Thank you, <StringField instance at 8f2dec8>!
What have I done wrong?
Furthermore, Formulator no longer validates at all for some reason. Why?
TIA,
beno
