Okay well the date validation seems to be working for me so double check your setup.
I have something like this(widgets/validation): http://paste.turbogears.org/paste/1124 I still don't quite understand what you are saying about passing a member into the form? Does that usually work... like it pulls the data straight from the sqlobject ? Like member.fname goes into the field fname automatically? If so you could try adding magic attributes to the sqlobject that pull the internal fields into a dictionary or something... or into a struct type class so you could achieve the funcionality of: member.contact.fname. Something to this effect. class Member(SQLObject): ... def _get_account(self): return self def _get_contact(self): return self For the most part I just bite the bullet and pass the data in at display time... although it would be nice to have something fancier... it seems like at some point you have to bridge the gap between how you store the data and how you display the data.. and i do that in the controller. Like this(controller): http://paste.turbogears.org/paste/1126 and this(view): http://paste.turbogears.org/paste/1125 If I shouldn't be flooding the paste server with my notes someone tell me. And also tell this guy: http://paste.turbogears.org/paste/1069 Anyways I kind of got carried away with the example but tell me more about how you pass in the form values. -Ian On 3/15/07, [EMAIL PROTECTED] <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > The current piece is for adding and editing a members details.
