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 http://www.zopelabs.com/cookbook/1032909599

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, beno

Hope this helps ;O)

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
