Remove them from the preDefElements array and from the overloaded table() and put them in the form in postGenerateForm with QF's new insertElementBefore() function. function postGenerateForm(&$form) { $h2 =& HTML_QuickForm::createElement('header', 'h2', 'persönliche Daten','asdasd'); $form->insertElementBefore($h2, 'pwd_2'); } See: http://pear.php.net/package/HTML_QuickForm/docs/3.2.4pl1/apidoc/HTML_QuickForm-3.2.4pl1/HTML_QuickForm.html#methodinsertElementBefore > nextone: > > function postGenerateForm(&$form) { > > $form->addRule('plz', 'Bitte geben Sie einen Postleitzahl > ein','required'); > $form->addRule('plz', 'Postleitzahl zu kurz','minlength', > 5); > $form->addRule('plz', 'Postleitzahl zu lang','maxlength', > 5); > } > > every required rule will be overwritten by the objects own errormessage.... > how can i fix that? I'm not quite sure what you're saying here. FormBuilder adds required rules for any "NOT NULL" columns in your database. If you don't want it to do this, try removing the NOT NULL type from the column. If you *must* have it this way, we may be able to add an option to stop it form adding these rules... > > and the last: > i have a birthDATEfield > how can i set the timeborders i.e. 1950-1990 The best way to do this right now is to use a preDefElement and pass the options into the createElement call. > > thanks for help... > Sorry for the lateness of the reply.
