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

[Laura McCord]

Well this is what I was trying to do:

I am passing a userid value from a list. For example,

userid username    useremail      
 1       jack    jack at blah.com    [edit]

[edit] is a link that will direct the user to an edit form. The link is
created like this with a variable userid to differentiate between users
such as, 
userEdit_Form?userid=1

<td><span><a tal:attributes="href python: 'userEdit_Form?userid=' +
str(userid)">[edit]</a></span></td>

So when I go to the edit form the fields will be pre-populated with the
user information from what user was select which is identified by the
userid. Then you can edit any field you want and leave any fields
unchanged and click on submit and the user information will be updated.

Thanks, 
 Laura

The error message is pretty clear. You used thomething like:

<input tal:content="whatever" />

With tal:content you can modify the content between the start and end
tag.

<b tal:content="string:hello world">dummy content</b> will render:

<b>hello world</b>

But <input></input> is no valid XHTML ...
