> $form->insert_before($new_element, $pos);Hi, Because all the fields are attached to a Fieldset - not directly to the form, you'll find $pos is undef. Because of this, you also need to call insert_before() on the fieldset, not the form. Also, you'll find that if you're creating $new_element on the same form, you'll end up with 2 copies of it after insert_before(), so you should probably be using another form object to create it. You need to do something like this: my $fieldset = $form->get_element; my $pos = $fieldset->get_element( 'media_id' ); my $new_element = $different_form_object->element( \%args ); $fieldset->insert_before( $new_element, $pos ); Cheers, Carl _______________________________________________ HTML-FormFu mailing list HTML-FormFu@lists.scsys.co.uk http://lists.scsys.co.uk/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/html-formfu
