To set the values you have to use either setDefaults($array of key-value pairs) (when the form is displayed for the first time) or loadValues() (when the form has errors). The way you declare your attributes is also wrong. Get rid of the quotes or use an array instead (example: array('size'=>30, 'maxlength'=>30) or string: 'size=30 maxlength=30'. Do not set the value of your elements in the attributes (even if this is possible :-) > I tried setDefaults yesterday but it wasn't working.

OK, this is the evidence that the latest version of the pear installer is bogus. I have sent a bug report yesterday but have had no comment of any kind since. Good luck, Bertrand Mansion Mamasam
