custom

Here is my controller for the form:

class User5amController(AdminBaseController):
    @expose('alims.templates.widget')
    def index(self, *args, **kw):
        log.debug('***%s***' %kw)
        return self.widget(UserForm,kw)

The debug log is in there to confirm that the attributes I send via the URL 
appears in kw (it does)

The form is here:

class UserForm(AdminPage):
    entity = model.User
    title = 'User'
    class child(FloatForm):
        cid=1
        css_class = 'floatform'
        buttons = [SaveButton(),CancelButton()]
        help_msg = 'Enter the information for the new user'
        id = HiddenField(validator=twc.IntValidator)
        customer_id = TextField(
            label="Customer ID",
            attrs=dict(disabled=True),
            value=cid
        )
        user_name = TextField(
            label="User ID",
            validator = twc.Required
        )
        password = PasswordField(
            label="Password",
            validator = twc.Required
        )

Now, basically what I need is to set 'cid' in the form to the value of 
'customer_id' in 'kw' - instead of its current placeholder 'cid=1'.

The template is here:

<form xmlns:py="http://genshi.edgewall.org/"; class="floatform" 
py:attrs="w.attrs">
    <div py:if="w.error_msg" class="formerror" py:content="w.error_msg"/>
    <div py:if="w.help_msg" class="formhelp"><p 
py:content="w.help_msg"/></div>
    <div py:replace="w.child.display()"/>
    <div py:for="button in w.buttons" class="field" 
py:content="button.display()"/>
</form>

I am assuming here is where I have to do something... I just do not know 
what.
