<URL:http://web2py.com/books/default/chapter/29/07/forms-and-validators#Pre-populating-the-form> Pre-populating the form It is always possible to pre-populate a form using the syntax: 1 form.vars.name = 'fieldvalue' Statements like the one above must be inserted after the form declaration and before the form is accepted, whether or not the field ("name" in the example) is explicitly visualized in the form. -- Resources: - http://web2py.com - http://web2py.com/book (Documentation) - http://github.com/web2py/web2py (Source code) - https://code.google.com/p/web2py/issues/list (Report Issues) --- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "web2py-users" group.
