Re^2: Pre-Populating an HTML form

It is type "text", not "textfield" (although as "text" is the default, browsers will tend to be able to error correct).

In Appendix C XHTML you need a space before the "/", but you've added the end of the tag outside of the string anyway.

print qq{<input type="text" value="$my_password" name="passwordfield" />};

I'd suggest sticking to HTML 4.01 (which has much better browser support), and using a templating language rather than printing out from the Perl script directly.

You are of course entirely right on all accounts. I have to make a note to myself not to answer questions before having had my second cup of strong tea (obviously one cup is not enough anymore).
