form.element(_name=='password').insert(INPUT(_name='password2',requires=IS_EXPR('value= %s' % repr(request.vars.password)) )) should have been form.element(_name='password').parent().append(INPUT(_name='password2',requires=IS_EXPR('value= %s' % repr(request.vars.password)) ))
form.element(_name='password') finds the INPUT(name="password") item form.element(_name='password').parent() finds the parent of such element, the TD() form.element(_name='password').parent().append(...) appends something to the TD() INPUT(_name='password2',....) is the appened <input name="password2"> field This: requires=IS_EXPR('value=%s' % repr(request.vars.password)) sets the requirements. i.e. the value of password is the same as the value of fields request.vars,password On 4 Lug, 09:37, elfuego1 <elfue...@gmail.com> wrote: > I'm trying to make a use of this piece of code but nothing works.
