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 :-) Now setDefaults is working but it doesn't help me to achive the intended result. I looked for a loadValues method but couldn't find it anywhere. I tried 'cat QuickForm.php | grep -i loadvalue' and found nothing there or on any of the files under the QuickForms directory. I'm lost here, I don't know how to use loadValues(). I placed an example of what I'm trying to do here: http://www.gym.itesm.mx/QuickForm/quickform.php I believe this will clearly explain what I'm trying to do. This is the code: http://www.gym.itesm.mx/QuickForm/code.txt If you press the Add end Edit buttons you'll see a mesage explaining the intended result. Also, I'm wondering how to tell QuickForm to use a enctype="multipart/form-data" attribute. Thank you very much for your time and advice. -- Sergio Tirado
