Thanks. That helped me too! But i have no idea how it did it. Need to read
up on widgets.
All i wanted to do was add the "readonly" attribute to a form field. I
thought the following would have worked (from the book). Is it intended to
add attributes?
If you need to add custom attributes to fields, you can simply do this:
db.table.field.extra = {}
