The intention of static was to use it like any other element (i. e. text box), so it has a name (in first column) and value (in second column). This code: $form->addElement('static', null, 'Name:', 'value'); $form->addElement('text', 'username', 'Username:', 'wojtek'); Would produce output like this: Name: value Username: [ wojtek ] In your case you can use either addData (I don't like this one); $form->addData('<tr><td colspan="2">' . $reason . '</td></tr>'); Or (I would prefer this, but it would not display in colspaned row): $form->addElement('text', 'username', 'Username:', $username); $form->addElement('password', 'password', 'Password:'); $form->addRule('username', 'Username is required', 'required'); $form->addRule('password', 'Password is required', 'required'); $form->addElement('submit', 'submit', 'Submit'); function login_ok($element, $username) { // check login and pass here and return true if ok } $form->registerRule('checklogin', 'function', 'login_ok'); $form->addRule('username', 'Wrong login', 'login_ok', 'function'); See also: HTML_QuickForm/docs/QuickForm_example3.php - Wojtek
