Can't you just assign values to the widgets in your flowscript?

OK.. coming back to this after a little rest, I realized that since the HTML form controls are generated by woody-field-styling.xsl, if there is any way to set, for instance, the 'value' attribute on an <input type="text"> control, this stylesheet must give me some clue about it. All right, so it turns out to come from <wi:value>.

The next clue was from a message I Googled up, indicating that what I need to do is say something like:

form.getWidget("some-widget-id").setValue ("Whatever");

I never saw this in the on-line docs or the Wiki, and if it was in the samples, then I missed it. OK, sure enough, grepping for 'setValue' I see that it is indeed in the samples, and if I had seen it there I would have seen yet another example of how to set the value: embedded <javascript> in the form definition.

All right, then. I think I've got enough to go on for now — thx a lot.

Until My Next Question,
— Mark
