[Zope] Getting an Error that I don't understand

Wed Apr 28 12:43:35 EDT 2004

Here's your problem:

<input type="text" name="userid" tal:attributes="value result/userid"
tal:content="result/userid">

tal:content makes no sense in this context, since an input tag doesn't 
contain content.  For example: <div>content</div> <span>content</span> 
<td>content</td> - all of these tags have content, and you could use 
tal:content when defining them..  An input tag does not.
