RE: [PEAR] [HTML/QuickForm] How can I override a textfield's value?

Hi! setConstants is your friend ... buildForm (to setup the form and to enable getting the values) getdataset (Select data from a database or whatever) setConstants (set the values) display Form why don't u just try some examples from the docu first? regards Daniel - also "made in Germany" which ... seem to have lost a lot of it's meaning :-) > I have a ListBox containing some values (in my case some > people's names): > > $form->addElement('select', 'name', 'Select Name: ', > $name_arr, array('onChange' => 'document.myForm.submit()')); > > As you can see the form is sent back to the webserver > immediately when a value from the ListBox is selected.

I have already spent hours on that. Please help.
