You don't need to replace the input -- just update it: form.element(...)['_autofocus'] = True But if it is a SQLFORM, a better approach is probably to change the widget associated with the DAL Field: db.mytable.myfield.widget = lambda f, v: SQLFORM.widgets.string.widget(f, v, _autofocus=True) If you always want autofocus set for that field, you can do the above within the DAL table definition.
