Annoying QuickForm Rendering quirk.

I mentioned this the other day but have seen no repsonses. I've got several pages that utilize HTML_QuickForm. On some (and only some) of the pages, the error message I've specified in a "required" type rule is being displayed on the form, even if the page is being viewed for the first time (e.g. has not been submitted to the server yet). Having dug down into HTML/QuickForm/Renderer/Default.php, it appears that $error is getting passed into renderElement(), which is causing _prepareTemplate() to render the error message into the form, regardless of whether the form has been submitted. I feel like I've hit a brick wall. Please help. -- David Rose Webmaster, SXSW Conferences and Festivals SXSW 2005 - March 11-20, 2005 - Austin, Texas http://sxsw.com/
