Ok, though I still not fully understand the use of this. It would have been better to make this a separate widget or controlled by a parameter, so you can replace a TextField with an AutoCompleteField and have this additional functionality only when you really want it. If there are other people who agree with me, I'll create a patch for this. Otherwise I will just make my private AutoCompleteField. >> ...

Somehow I cannot really make friends with FormEncode. It's both the nesting and I'm sometimes also confused about the direction and order of evaluation (from_python, to_python and compound validators) - it's often the opposite of what I expect ;-) Maybe it's because I haven't used it much and never systematically read the documentation, though. -- Chris --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "TurboGears" group.
