Ahh, more prior art to check out. It's been a while since I looked at Spyce. If memory serves, active tags are kind of like JSP tags. I should take a closer look though to make sure I'm not missing something interesting. > > A TableForm displays a label for each field in one column of a table, > > with the field controls in another column of the table.

You can get the keys with errors by grabbing cherrypy.request.form_errors.keys() I'm going to guess that most uses of has_errors will just be to punt to another method. Kevin
