Form validation: re-populate empty field |
English isn’t my first language, so please excuse any mistakes.
This is my input field: Code: <input type="text" name="title" id="title" value="<?php echo set_value('title', $venue['title']) ?>" autocomplete="off" /> According to my validation rules this field is required. After submitting the form with an empty "title" the form is showing the default value of "$venue['title']". I was expecting (and hoping) to see an empty input field. Otherwise the displayed error message (saying this field is required) seems a bit confusing. It's working (=showing blank field) in CI2 with almost identical code. Did I miss something? THX in advance

@Stradge
I also noticed this behavior, and I think in this case (while a previously non-empty field is edited and 'required' rule fails) an empty field should be shown. IMO you are correct.
This should be checked for check-boxes too. There is a "hidden" rule 'isset'.
