You pass the validator to the field so that it passes it to the
widget. Your widget does not handle it. You can do:
def radio_h(field,value):
nbsp = XML(' ')
items=[TAG['']
(SPAN(name,INPUT(_type='radio',_value=key,_name=field.name,value=value,requires=IS_IN_DB(db,
db.gender, '%(description)s',
zero=None))),nb sp,nbsp)
for key,name in field.requires.options()]
return DIV(*items)
define_table('t',
Field('gender', 'reference gender',comment='*',widget=radio_h))
