Using a Safecracker form, when I set “error_handling=“inline”, the page refreshes and I get the error messages for each field, but I loose all the previously entered data.
If I remove “error_handling=“inline” and let EE handle the form errors with a user message template, then click “Return to Previous Page”, all the previously entered data is still in place - which is the desired effect!
Is this a bug or a setting I’ve missed?
Thanks!

Matthew,
What version and build of EE are you using?
Are you using any other add-ons?
Can you pasted your template code here so we can try and replicate please?

Hi John,
I’m using v2.2.1 - Build: date 20110630
Add-ons: Structure / Accessible Capture (tested on/off) / Matrix / CE image / TrunHTML
Here’s the bones of template code - which is causing the problem:
{embed="includes/.header"}

{!-- CONTENT --}
{content}
{/exp:channel:entries}
{!-- FORM --}
{exp:safecracker channel="the_fridge_door" error_handling="inline" rules:tfd_name="required" rules:tfd_email="required" return="the-fridge-door"}
{!-- PERSONAL --}

Hey Matthew,
For SafeCracker to re-populate the input fields after submitting an entry with errors in it, you need to have this added to each input:
value="{field_name}"So your first input, for example, should look like this:
<input name="tfd_name" id="tfd-name" class="text rc" type="text" value="{tfd_name}" />Does that take care of it for you?

Glad you got this one working, Matthew! If anything else comes up, please start a new thread and we can help out there.
Thank you!
