[pmwiki-users] PmForms Default value for input

[DaveG]

The answer is here: http://www.pmwiki.org/wiki/Cookbook/InputDefault

Specify the default values separate from the (:input declarations. Note 
the lines with no ">" prefix below.

(:input default $:entrydate "{(ftime)}":)

Date: (:input text $:entrydate size=25 :)
 > (:input submit value="Submit":)
 > (:input end:)
 > [[#entry-formend]]
