I finally got around to trying this out, and it looks like with SQLFORM(), what I want is Field('Mint', 'string', requires=IS_MATCH('^[dpx]*$', error_message="not a valid mint string"), widget = lambda f, v: SQLFORM.widgets.string.widget(f, v, _autocomplete="off")), Previous advice had told me about the widget stuff for autofocus,(=True) and it looks like it works for autocomplete. Thanks! (Off topic annoyance: appadmin's "DB new record" form doesn't use autofocus, and I feel it *should* take you to the first field.) /dps -- Resources: - http://web2py.com - http://web2py.com/book (Documentation) - http://github.com/web2py/web2py (Source code) - https://code.google.com/p/web2py/issues/list (Report Issues) --- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "web2py-users" group.
