Take a look at this ticket: http://trac.turbogears.org/turbogears/ticket/654 > 2) On a validation error, how do I get the child widget (e.g. text)'s > error message to show up by the AutoCompleteField?

This doesn't seem right, compared to > how nicely error messages for non-composite fields are displayed... The AutoCompleteField is a CompoundWidget therefore it's validator must be a Schema. The AutoCompleteField doesn't display validation errors for it's child widgets (text and id) so you need to "un-nest" the error so the form displays it. Try something like: class AutoCompleteValidator(Schema): def _to_python(self, value, state): text = value['text_field_name'] value['text_field_name'] = ValidatorForText.to_python(text) return value If line 4 raises an Invalid exception, it will "belong" to the Schema associated to the whole AutoCompleteField so the error message should appear beside it in the form. Make sure to assign the text's value back to it's corresponding key in 'value' so you get the correct value dict back.
