Widgets by default work thusly:
top_form = TableForm(name="top_form", widgets=(
TextField(name="alpha"),
TextField(name="bravo"),
TextField(name="charlie"))
...in an exposed method...
return dict(
data = {'alpha':1,'bravo':2,'charlie':3},
form = top_form,
)
...in your template...
${form.insert(data)}
The data is expected to be a class with attributes matching the names
in the form, but if you pass in a dict with the correct keys it gets
converted. The names in the data and on the text fields have to match.
