[FE-discuss] space inserted into css class by formencode / hmtlfill 1.2.1

[Jules Stevenson]

Hi,

I am very green with form encode, so please bear with me. First of all -
thanks, it's a great tool. It's making my life much easier :).

When it's validating my fields it's appending 'error' onto the fields CSS
class as expected, but seems to be putting a space in between which is not
so hot.

Ie. <input class='form'.. becomes <input class='form error'.. after
htmlfill.

This is within a pylons project, but I'm unsure what more material I should
provide for any help with this.

Many thanks,

Jules

What's the problem? class="form error" means the element has two classes
("form" and "error").

I don't use form encode, but I would expect this to work exactly the way
it does.

without the space, the class would be "formerror" which is not expected.

formencode does not want to change class names already on the element,
only ADD a new classname 'error'

so formencode has to put a space in front of 'error' to avoid mangling
existing classnames.
