Default Values

Every element automatically has these default values (see system_element_info()):

The following is a list of default values which do not need to be set (found in system_element_info):

 

Elements

Note that property names in bold are those that will generally need to be defined when creating this form element. Default values are indicated in parentheses next to property names, if they exist.

actions

Description: A wrapper element to group one or more buttons in a form. Use of the 'actions' element as an array key helps to ensure proper styling in themes and to enable other modules to properly alter a form's actions.

Properties: #access, #after_build, #attributes #children, #id, #parents, #post_render, #pre_render, #prefix, #process, #states, #suffix, #theme, #theme_wrappers, #tree, #type, #weight

Usage example:

<?php
  $form
['actions'] = array('#type' => 'actions');
 
$form['actions']['submit'] = array(
   
'#type' => 'submit',
   
'#value' => t('Save'),
  );
 
$form['actions']['delete'] = array(
   
'#type' => 'button',
   
'#value' => t('Delete'),
  );
 
$form['actions']['cancel'] = array(
   
'#markup' => l(t('Cancel'), 'foo/bar'),
  );
?>

button

Description: Format an action button. When the button is pressed, the form will be submitted to Drupal, where it is validated and rebuilt. The submit handler is not invoked.

Properties: #access, #after_build, #ajax, #attributes, #button_type (default: submit), #disabled, #element_validate, #executes_submit_callback (default: FALSE), #limit_validation_errors, #name (default: op), #parents, #post_render, #prefix, #pre_render, #process, #submit, #states, #suffix, #theme, #theme_wrappers, #tree, #type, #validate, #value, #weight

Usage example (node.module):

<?php
$form
['preview'] = array(
 
'#type' => 'button',
  '#value'
=> t('Preview'),
  '#weight'
=> 19,
);
?>

checkbox

<?php
$form
['copy'] = array(
 
'#type' => 'checkbox',
  '#title'
=> t('Send me a copy.'),
);
?>

checkboxes

Description: Format a set of checkboxes. #options is an associative array, where the key is the #return_value of the checkbox and the value is displayed. The #options array cannot have a 0 key, as it would not be possible to discern checked and unchecked states.

Properties: #access, #after_build, #ajax, #attributes, #default_value, #description, #disabled, #element_validate, #options, #parents, #post_render, #prefix, #pre_render, #process, #required, #states, #suffix, #theme, #theme_wrappers, #title, #title_display, #tree (default: TRUE), #type, #weight

Usage example (form_example_states.inc):

<?php
$form
['high_school']['tests_taken'] = array(
  
'#type' => 'checkboxes',
  
'#options' => drupal_map_assoc(array(t('SAT'), t('ACT'))),
  
'#title' => t('What standardized tests did you take?'),
...
),
?>

container

Description: Returns HTML to wrap child elements in a container. Surrounds child elements with a <div> and adds attributes such as classes or an HTML id.

Properties: #access, #after_build, #attributes #children, #id, #parents, #post_render, #pre_render, #prefix, #process, #states, #suffix, #theme, #theme_wrappers, #tree, #type, #weight

Usage example (field.form.inc):

if ($elements) {
   
// Also aid in theming of field widgets by rendering a classified
    // container.
   
$addition[$field_name] = array(
     
'#type' => 'container',
     
'#attributes' => array(
       
'class' => array(
         
'field-type-' . drupal_html_class($field['type']),
         
'field-name-' . drupal_html_class($field_name),
         
'field-widget-' . drupal_html_class($instance['widget']['type']),
        ),
      ),
     
'#weight' => $instance['widget']['weight'],
    );
  }
?>

date

Description: Format a date selection box. The #default_value will be today's date if no value is supplied. The format for the #default_value and the #return_value is an array with three elements with the keys: 'year', month', and 'day'. For example, array('year' => 2007, 'month' => 2, 'day' => 15)

Properties: #access, #after_build, #attributes, #default_value, #description, #disabled, #element_validate, #parents, #post_render, #prefix, #pre_render, #process, #required, #states, #suffix, #theme, #theme_wrappers, #title, #title_display, #tree, #type, #weight

Usage example (profile.module):

<?php
$fields
[$category][$field->name] = array(
  
'#type' => 'date',
  '#title'
=> check_plain($field->title),
  '#default_value'
=> $edit[$field->name],
  '#description'
=> _profile_form_explanation($field),
  '#required'
=> $field->required
);
?>

fieldset

Description: Format a group of form items.

Properties: #access, #after_build, #attributes, #collapsed (default: FALSE), #collapsible (default: FALSE), #description, #element_validate, #parents, #post_render, #prefix, #pre_render, #process, #states, #suffix, #theme, #theme_wrappers, #title, #title_display, #tree, #type, #weight

Usage example (contact.module):

<?php
$form
['contact'] = array(
  '#type'
=> 'fieldset',
  '#title'
=> t('Contact settings'),
  '#weight'
=> 5,
  '#collapsible'
=> TRUE,
  '#collapsed'
=> FALSE,
);
?>

file

Description: Format a file upload field.

Note: Drupal will add the code enctype="multipart/form-data", required by browsers to handle files, so it's not necessary to include it yourself.

Properties: #access, #after_build, #array_parents, #attached, #attributes, #description, #disabled, #element_validate, #parents, #post_render, #prefix, #pre_render, #process, #required, #size (default: 60), #states, #suffix, #theme, #theme_wrappers, #title, #title_display, #tree, #type, #weight

Usage example (file.module):

<?php
$element
['upload'] = array(
   
'#name' => 'files[' . implode('_', $element['#parents']) . ']',
   
'#type' => 'file',
   
'#title' => t('Choose a file'),
   
'#title_display' => 'invisible',
   
'#size' => 22,
   
'#theme_wrappers' => array(),
   
'#weight' => -10,
  );
?>

form

Description: A form containing form elements

Properties: #access, #action (default: request_uri()), #after_build, #attributes, #method (default: 'post'), #post_render, #prefix, #pre_render, #process, #submit, #states, #suffix, #theme, #theme_wrappers, #tree, #validate

Usage example:

N/A

hidden

Description: Store data in a hidden form field.

Properties: #access, #after_build, #default_value, #element_validate, #parents, #post_render, #prefix, #pre_render, #process, #states, #suffix, #theme, #theme_wrappers, #tree, #type, #value, #weight

Usage example (block.module):

<?php
$form
['bid'] = array('#type' => 'hidden', '#value' => $bid);
?>

Note that if you plan to use JavaScript to change your hidden element's value, you will need to use the #default_value property rather than #value.

image_button

Description: Format a form submit button with an image.

Properties: #access, #after_build, #ajax, #attributes, #button_type (default: 'submit'), #disabled, #element_validate, #executes_submit_callback (default: TRUE), #limit_validation_errors, #parents, #post_render, #prefix, #pre_render, #process, #return_value (default: TRUE), #src, #submit, #states, #suffix, #theme, #theme_wrappers, #tree, #type, #validate, #value, #weight

item

Description: Generate a display-only form element allowing for an optional title and description.

Note: since this is a read-only field, setting the #required property will do nothing except theme the form element to look as if it were actually required (i.e. by placing a red star next to the #title).

Properties: #access, #after_build, #description, #element_validate, #markup, #parents, #post_render, #prefix, #pre_render, #process, #required, #states, #suffix, #theme, #theme_wrappers, #title, #title_display, #tree, #type, #weight

Usage example (contact.module):

<?php
$form['from'] = array(
  
'#type' => 'item',
  '#title' => t('From'),
  '#markup' => $user->name .' &lt;'. $user->mail .'&gt;',
);

?>

machine_name

Description: Format a single-line text field to store a unique machine-readable name.

Provides a form element to enter a machine name, which is validated to ensure that the name is unique and does not contain disallowed characters. All disallowed characters are replaced with a replacement character via JavaScript.

The element validation checks that the submitted value

  • does not contain the replacement character only
  • does not contain disallowed characters
  • is unique; i.e., does not already exist
  • does not exceed the maximum length (via #maxlength)
  • cannot be changed after creation (via #disabled)

Non-standard form element properties:

  • #machine_name: (array)
    • exists: A function name to invoke for checking whether a submitted machine name value already exists. The submitted value is passed as argument. In most cases, an existing API or menu argument function can be re-used. The callback is only invoked, if the submitted value differs from the element's #default_value
    • source: (optional) The #array_parents of the form element containing the human-readable name (i.e., as contained in the $form structure) to use as source for the machine name. Defaults to array('name').
    • label: (optional) A text to display as label for the machine name value after the human-readable name form element. Defaults to "Machine name".
    • replace_pattern: (optional) A regular expression (without delimiters) matching disallowed characters in the machine name. Defaults to '[^a-z0-9_]+'.
    • replace: (optional) A character to replace disallowed characters in the machine name via JavaScript. Defaults to '_' (underscore). When using a different character, 'replace_pattern' needs to be set accordingly.

Properties: #access, #after_build, #ajax, #attributes, #autocomplete_path (default: FALSE), #default_value, #description (default: 'A unique machine-readable name. Can only contain lowercase letters, numbers, and underscores.'), #disabled, #element_validate, #field_prefix, #field_suffix, #maxlength (default: 64), #parents, #post_render, #prefix, #pre_render, #process, #required (default: TRUE), #size (default: 60), #states, #suffix, #theme (default: 'textfield'), #theme_wrappers (default: 'form_element'), #title (default: 'Machine-readable name'), #title_display #tree, #type, #weight

Usage example (taxonomy.admin.inc):

<?php
$form['machine_name'] = array(
  '#type' => 'machine_name',
  '#default_value' => $vocabulary->machine_name,
  '#maxlength' => 21,
  '#machine_name' => array(
    'exists' => 'menu_edit_menu_name_exists',
  ),
);
?>

Usage example (menu.admin.inc):

<?php
$form['menu_name'] = array(
  '#type' => 'machine_name',
  '#title' => t('Menu name'),
  '#default_value' => $menu['menu_name'],
  '#maxlength' => MENU_MAX_MENU_NAME_LENGTH_UI,
  '#description' => t('A unique name to construct the URL for the menu. It must only contain lowercase letters, numbers and hyphens.'),
  '#machine_name' => array(
    'exists' => 'menu_edit_menu_name_exists',
    'source' => array('title'),
    'label' => t('URL path'),
    'replace_pattern' => '[^a-z0-9-]+',
    'replace' => '-',
  ),
  // A menu's machine name cannot be changed.
  '#disabled' => !empty($menu['old_name']) || isset($system_menus[$menu['menu_name']]),
);
?>

managed_file

Description: Provides a complete ajax/progress aware widget for uploading a file and saving it to the {file_managed} table.

By default a simple upload button is provided for choosing the file to upload. Once a file has been chosen it can be explicitly uploaded via the "Upload" button. The upload is via AJAX and a progress meter is displayed. The form's validate and submit handlers receive a file object ID in $form_state['values'] that represents the ID of the new file in the {file_managed} table.

The #managed_file element is expanded into a set of FAPI elements including two '#submit' buttons one for Upload one for Remove, a '#file' element and a handful of '#hidden' and '#markup' elements to handle progress indication and displaying of already uploaded files.

Note: New files are uploaded with a status of 0 and are treated as temporary files which are removed after 6 hours via cron. Your module is responsible for changing the $file objects status to FILE_STATUS_PERMANENT and saving the new status to the database. Something like the following within your submit handler should do the trick.

<?php
// Load the file via file.fid.
$file = file_load($form_state['values']['my_file_field']);
// Change status to permanent.
$file->status = FILE_STATUS_PERMANENT;
// Save.
file_save($file);
// Record that the module (in this example, user module) is using the file.
file_usage_add($file, 'user', 'user', $account->uid);
?>

(Without the call to file_usage_add, file_managed_file_validate produces an error upon saving the form, saying that the uploaded file may not be referenced.)

Once a file has been uploaded the file object's fid can be used as the #default_value for the form element. This will display an icon, a link to the file, and a remove button.

Clicking the remove button sets the value of the field to 0 and your module is responsible for actually removing the file from the files table and the file system using file_delete().

Non-standard form element properties:

  • #progress_indicator: options are 'none', 'bar', and 'throbber', default is 'throbber'.
  • #progress_message: (string) Progress message to display along with progress meter while a file is being uploaded. Defaults to NULL.
  • #upload_validators: (array) an array of callback functions to perform validation of uploaded files.
  • #upload_location (string) location on server where uploaded files should be stored. e.g.) 'public://files/my_files_director'

Properties: #access, #after_build, #array_parents, #attached, #attributes, #description, #disabled, #element_validate, #parents, #post_render, #prefix, #pre_render, #process, #states, #suffix, #theme, #theme_wrappers, #title, #tree, #weight

Usage example (image_example.pages.inc.):

<?php
// Use the #managed_file FAPI element to upload an image file.
$form['image_example_image_fid'] = array(
 
'#title' => t('Image'),
 
'#type' => 'managed_file',
 
'#description' => t('The uploaded image will be displayed on this page using the image style choosen below.'),
 
'#default_value' => variable_get('image_example_image_fid', ''),
 
'#upload_location' => 'public://image_example_images/',
);
?>

markup

Description: Generate generic markup for display inside forms. Note that there is no need to declare a form element as #type = 'markup', as this is the default type.

Note: if you use markup, if your content is not wrapped in tags (generally <p> or <div>), your content will fall outside of collapsed fieldsets.

Properties: #access, #after_build, #element_validate, #markup, #parents, #post_render, #prefix, #pre_render, #process, #states, #suffix, #theme, #theme_wrappers, #tree, #type, #weight

Usage example (contact.module):

<?php
$form
['contact_information'] = array(
  '#markup'
=> variable_get('contact_form_information', t('You can leave us a message using the contact form below.')),
);
?>

password

Description: Format a single-line text field that does not display its contents visibly.

Properties: #access, #after_build, #ajax, #attributes, #description, #disabled, #element_validate, #field_prefix, #field_suffix, #maxlength (default: 128), #parents, #post_render, #prefix, #pre_render, #process, #required, #size (default: 60), #states, #suffix, #theme, #theme_wrappers, #title, #title_display, #tree, #type, #weight

Usage example (user.module):

<?php
$form
['pass'] = array(
  '#type'
=> 'password',
  '#title'
=> t('Password'),
  '#maxlength'
=> 64,
  '#size'
=> 15,
);
?>

password_confirm

Description: Format a pair of password fields, which do not validate unless the two entered passwords match.

Properties: #access, #after_build, #description, #disabled, #element_validate, #field_prefix, #field_suffix, #parents, #post_render, #prefix, #pre_render, #process, #required, #size (default: 60), #states, #suffix, #theme, #theme_wrappers, #title, #title_display, #tree, #type, #weight

Usage example (user.module):

<?php
$form
['pass'] = array(
  '#type'
=> 'password_confirm',
  '#title'
=> t('Password'),
  '#size'
=> 25,
);
?>

radio

Description: Format a radio button.

Properties: #access, #after_build, #ajax, #attributes, #default_value, #description, #disabled, #element_validate, #field_prefix, #field_suffix, #parents, #post_render, #prefix, #pre_render, #process, #required, #return_value, #states, #suffix, #theme, #theme_wrappers, #title, #title_display (default: after), #tree, #type, #weight

Usage example:

N/A

radios

Description: Format a set of radio buttons.

Properties: #access, #after_build, #ajax, #attributes, #default_value, #description, #disabled, #element_validate, #options, #parents, #post_render, #prefix, #pre_render, #process, #required, #states, #suffix, #theme, #theme_wrappers, #title, #title_display, #tree, #type, #weight

Usage example (poll.module):

<?php
  $active
= array(0 => t('Closed'), 1 => t('Active'));
...
  
$form['settings']['active'] = array(
    
'#type' => 'radios',
    
'#title' => t('Poll status'),
    
'#default_value' => isset($node->active) ? $node->active : 1,
    
'#options' => $active,
    
'#description' => t('When a poll is closed, visitors can no longer vote for it.'),
    
'#access' => $admin,
  );
?>

select

Description: Format a drop-down menu or scrolling selection box. See #empty_option and #empty_value for an explanation of various settings for a select element, including behavior if #required is TRUE or FALSE.

Properties: #access, #after_build, #ajax, #attributes, #default_value, #description, #disabled, #element_validate, #empty_option, #empty_value, #field_prefix, #field_suffix, #multiple, #options, #parents, #post_render, #prefix, #pre_render, #process, #required, #size, #states, #suffix, #theme, #theme_wrappers, #title, #title_display, #tree, #type, #weight

0 => t('No'),
     
1 => t('Yes'),
    ),
   
'#default_value' => $category['selected'],
   
'#description' => t('Set this to <em>Yes</em> if you would like this category to be selected by default.'),
  );
?>

submit

Description: Format a form submit button.

Properties: #access, #after_build, #ajax, #attributes, #button_type (default: 'submit'), #disabled, #element_validate, #executes_submit_callback (default: TRUE), #limit_validation_errors, #name (default: 'op'), #parents, #post_render, #prefix, #pre_render, #process, #submit, #states, #suffix, #theme, #theme_wrappers, #tree, #type, #validate, #value, #weight

Usage example (locale.module):

<?php
$form
['submit'] = array('#type' => 'submit', '#value' => t('Import'));
?>

tableselect

Description: A table created with a far left column of radios or checkboxes. Build the table headings and columns with the #headers property, and the rows with the #options property. See Adding checkboxes to a table for a full explanation.

Other settings:

  • To set accessibility tags for the radios or checkboxes, build one of the cells in the #options property using the 'title' => array( 'data' => array(#title => 'mytitle'))) construction, as in the $options variable in the usage example below. Drupal will create invisible label tags for the left column based on this value.
  • To disable the default "check all" button for the checkboxes, set #js_select property to FALSE. This is FALSE by default for radios.
  • Setting #multiple to TRUE will give you checkboxes instead of radios.

'#after_build' => array('system_check_directory'),
  );
?>

#ajax

Used by: button, checkbox, checkboxes, image button, password, radio, radios, select, submit, tableselect, textarea, text_format, textfield

An array of elements whose values control the behavior of the element with respect to the Drupal AJAX framework.

AJAX (Asynchronous Javascript and XML) is a term used for dynamic communication between the browser and the server, without page reloads. A purist would insist that the Drupal technique is AHAH (Asychronous HTML and HTTP) because XML is not used. Until Drupal 7, AJAX was known as AHAH. In a nutshell an AJAX request follows these steps:

  1. Drupal builds a form element with a set of #ajax properties. The misc/ajax.js file is included on the page automatically.
  2. ajax.js finds all the form elements on the page that have an #ajax['callback'] or an #ajax['path'] set and adds an event handler for the #ajax['event'] set on that form element.
  3. When the #ajax['event'] occurs on the element (such as 'click'), the AJAX request is made to the Drupal path of the element's #ajax['path']. If an #ajax['callback'] has been specified (the normal case), the Drupal path will be system/ajax.
  4. Form information gets processed, and the function specified in #ajax['callback'] is called.  #ajax['callback'] can return either HTML, a renderable array, or an array of AJAX commands.
  5. While the user waits for the callback to execute a throbber or progress bar is shown as determined by #ajax['progress']. The result is returned to the original page containing the form element.
  6. ajax.js gets the result. If it is HTML and #ajax['wrapper'] is set, the HTML replaces the element specified by #ajax['wrapper']. If it is an array of AJAX commands, the commands are executed. and inserts the returned HTML into the #ajax['wrapper']

Example usages of basic AJAX and AJAX commands are provided in the Examples module.

#ajax['callback']

Description: Specifies the name of a callback function which will be called during an AJAX call. It can return HTML, a renderable array, or an array of AJAX Commands. This callback function is given the $form and $form_state parameters, allowing it to produce a result, which it returns for rendering.

Note: #ajax['callback'] and #ajax['path'] are mutually exclusive. 'callback' is easier to use and requires less code setup, but may not provide the capabilities required for some functions. When you can, use 'callback'.

Values: String containing a function name.

Usage example (poll.module):

<?php
/**
 * Implementation of hook_form().
 */
function poll_form(&$node$form_state) {
  ...
  
$form['choice_wrapper']['poll_more'] = array(
    
'#type' => 'submit',
    
'#value' => t('More choices'),
    
'#description' => t("If the amount of boxes above isn't enough, click here to add more choices."),
    
'#weight' => 1,
    
'#submit' => array('poll_more_choices_submit'), // If no javascript action.
    
'#ajax' => array(
      
'callback' => 'poll_choice_js',
      
'wrapper' => 'poll-choices',
      
'method' => 'replace',
      
'effect' => 'fade',
    ),
  );
  ...
}

/**
 * Menu callback for AJAX additions. Render the new poll choices.
 */
function poll_choice_js($form, $form_state) {
  return $form['choice_wrapper']['choice'];
}
?>

#ajax['effect']

Description: Specifies the effect used when adding the content from an AJAX request.

Values: String. Possible values: 'none' (default), 'fade', 'slide'. If the interface elements library is installed, any effect with the name effectToggle may also be used.

#ajax['event']

Description: When this event occurs to this element, Drupal will perform an HTTP request in the background via Javascript.

Values: String. Possible values: Any valid jQuery event, including 'mousedown' (for submit, imagebutton, and button), 'blur' (for textfield and textarea), 'change' (for select). Note that #ajax['event'] does not need to be explicitly specified. Although it can be manually set, usually the default value will be sufficient.

#ajax['keypress']

Description: If set to TRUE, then the element's #ajax['event'] will be triggered if the ENTER key is pressed while the element has focus.

#ajax['method']

Description: Modify the behavior of the returned HTML from an AJAX request when inserting into the #ajax['wrapper']. If not set, the returned HTML will replace the contents of the wrapper element, but it's also possible to use any of the available jQuery operations for DOM manipulation.

Values: String. Possible values: 'replace' (default), 'after', 'append', 'before', 'prepend'.

#ajax['path']

Description: This is the Drupal menu path for a callback function which will generate HTML and return the string of HTML to Drupal. The result will replace the div specified in #ajax['wrapper']. This property is infrequently used in Drupal 7 and higher, because it is set automatically if using the #ajax['callback'] property. When using #ajax['callback'] the path is automatically set to system/ajax, which provides a menu callback that can be used for many situations.

Note: 'path' and 'callback' are mutually exclusive.

Values: String containing a Drupal menu path.

#ajax['prevent']

Description: A JavaScript event to prevent when 'event' is triggered. Defaults to 'click' for #ajax on #type 'submit', 'button', and 'image_button'. Multiple events may be specified separated by spaces. For example, when binding #ajax behaviors to form buttons, pressing the ENTER key within a textfield triggers the 'click' event of the form's first submit button. Triggering Ajax in this situation leads to problems, like breaking autocomplete textfields. Because of that, Ajax behaviors are bound to the 'mousedown' event on form buttons by default. However, binding to 'mousedown' rather than 'click' means that it is possible to trigger a click by pressing the mouse, holding the mouse button down until the Ajax request is complete and the button is re-enabled, and then releasing the mouse button. For this case, 'prevent' can be set to 'click', so an additional event handler is bound to prevent such a click from triggering a non-Ajax form submission. This also prevents a textfield's ENTER press triggering a button's non-Ajax form submission behavior.

Values: String. Possible values: One or more jQuery events, with multiple events separated by space characters.

#ajax['progress']

Description: Choose either a throbber or progress bar that is displayed while awaiting a response from the callback, and add an optional message.

Values: Array.

Possible keys: 'type', 'message', 'url', 'interval'

Possible values:

  • #ajax['progress']['type'] String. Possible values: 'throbber' (default), 'bar'.
  • #ajax['progress']['message'] String. An optional message to the user; should be wrapped with t().
  • #ajax['progress']['url'] String. The optional callback path to use to determine how full the progress bar is (as defined in progress.js). Only useable when 'type' is 'bar'.
  • #ajax['progress']['interval'] String. The interval to be used in updating the progress bar (as defined in progress.js). Ony used if 'url' is defined and 'type' is 'bar'.

Usage example (file.module):

<?php
  $ajax_settings
['progress']['type'] ? $ajax_settings['progress']['type'] == 'bar' : 'throbber';
 
$ajax_settings['progress']['message'] = NULL;
 
$ajax_settings['effect'] = 'none';
 
$element['remove_button'] = array(
   
'#name' => implode('_', $element['#parents']) . '_remove_button',
   
'#type' => 'submit',
   
'#value' => t('Remove'),                                           
   
'#validate' => array(),
   
'#submit' => array('file_managed_file_submit'),
   
'#limit_validation_errors' => array($element['#parents']),
   
'#ajax' => $ajax_settings,
   
'#weight' => -5,
  );
?>

#ajax['trigger_as']

Description: For a non-submit, non-button element, allows selection of the submit element which will be activated when the element is triggered. For example, if a select element is ajax-enabled, and it changes, an element identified by #ajax['trigger_as']['name'] or #ajax['trigger_as']['value'] will be used as the triggering element, especially for button-level validation.

Values: Array.

Possible values

  • array('name' => some_submit_or_button_name)
  • array('value' => some_submit_or_button_value)

Note that if #tree == TRUE, #name encodes the parents of the element in it, as when used with form_set_error(), i.e. "level1][level2][element".

#ajax['wrapper']

Description: This property defines the HTML id attribute of an element on the page which will be replaced by the html returned by the #ajax['path'] or #ajax['callback'] function. Usually, a div element is used as the wrapper, as it provides the most flexibility for placement of elements before, after, or inside of its HTML tags. This property is required for using AJAX requests in on a form element.  Note that the entire element with this ID is replaced, not just the contents of the element.

Values: String containg a valid id attribute of an HTML element on the same page. This must not contain the '#' character that a selector would have.

Usage example:

    $form['new']['attach'] = array(
     
'#type' => 'submit',
     
'#value' => t('Attach'),
     
'#name' => 'attach',
     
'#ajax' => array(
       
'path' => 'upload/js',
       
'wrapper' => 'attach-wrapper',
       
'progress' => array('type' => 'bar', 'message' => t('Please wait...')),
      ),
     
'#submit' => array('node_form_submit_build_node'),
    );

#array_parents

Used by: All form elements

Description: (read-only, and mostly internal). The array of names of the element's parents (including itself) in the form. This will always match the structure of $form. It is different from #parents in that #parents lists only the structure used in $form_state['values'], which is flat unless #tree is set to TRUE. Please see the complete comparison between #parents and #array_parents.

#attached

Used by: All form elements

Description: Allows loading of CSS, Javascript, libraries, or custom types when the form is built.

Values: A keyed array of type => value pairs, where the type (most often 'css', 'js', and 'library') determines the loading technique, and the value provides the options presented to the loader function. See the example below and the loader functions drupal_add_css(), drupal_add_js(), drupal_add_library(), etc.

See drupal_process_attached() for additional information.

Usage example (AJAX Example):

$form['#attached']['css'] = array(
drupal_get_path('module', 'ajax_example') . '/ajax_example.css',
);
$form['#attached']['js'] = array(
drupal_get_path('module', 'ajax_example') . '/ajax_example.js',
);

The above javascript #attach could also be written as:

$form['#attached']['js'] = array(
  drupal_get_path('module', 'ajax_example') . '/ajax_example.js' => array(
  'type' => 'file',
  ),
);

and inline javascript can be loaded with the javascript as the key of the array, as described in drupal_add_js().

Adding settings

You add a javascript setting by using the 'data' key (as php keys can't be arrays):

$settings = array('id' => 'mymodule-element-1');
$form['#attached']['js'][] = array(
  'data' => array('mymodule' => $settings),
  'type' => 'setting',
);

Usage example (contact.pages.inc):

<?php
if (!$user->uid) {
$form['#attached']['library'][] = array('system', 'jquery.cookie');
$form['#attributes']['class'][] = 'user-info-from-cookie';
}
?>

#attributes

Used by: actions, button, checkbox, checkboxes, container, date, fieldset, file, form, image_button, password, radio, radios, select, submit, tableselect, textarea, text_format, textfield, weight

Description: Additional HTML attributes, such as 'class' can be set using this mechanism.

Values: Any HTML attribute not covered by other properties, e.g. class (for control types), enctype (for forms).

Usage example (search.module):

Note: If you are altering an existing form via hook_form_alter() or a similar means, be careful with this property! You will probably want to add to the existing array rather than writing over it, so don't follow this usage example exactly.

<?php
$form
['#attributes'] = array('class' => array('search-form'));
?>

#autocomplete_path

Used by: textfield

Description: The path the AJAX autocomplete script uses as the source for autocompletion.

Usage example (node.module):

<?php
$form
['author']['name'] = array(
  '#type'
=> 'textfield',
  '#title'
=> t('Authored by'),
  '#maxlength'
=> 60,
  '#autocomplete_path'
=> 'user/autocomplete',
  '#default_value'
=> $node->name,
  '#weight'
=> -1,
);
?>

#built

Used by: form

Description: Used to ascertain whether or not a form element has been built yet.

Values: TRUE or FALSE

Usage example: INTERNAL.

#button_type

Used by: button, image_button, submit

Description: Adds a CSS class to the button, in the form form-[button_type_value]. Note that this does NOT set the HTML attribute type of the button.

Values: String

Usage example: (system.module):

$types['submit'] = array(
  '#input' => TRUE,
  '#name' => 'op',
  '#button_type' => 'submit',

  '#limit_validation_errors' => FALSE,
  '#process' => array('ajax_process_form'),
  '#theme_wrappers' => array('button'),
);

#children

Used by: All elements.

Description: Internal. The rendered child elements of an element. Automatically assigned by drupal_render(), unless already set. In rare cases, you may use #children to override the output of rendered child elements, for example in a #theme_wrappers or #post_render callback. Normally, you should not have to use #children, use regular child elements instead. (See actions for an example.)

Values: String representing the rendered child elements of an element.

Usage example theme_container()):
Example in a #theme_wrappers callback.

<?php
function theme_container($variables) {
 
$element = $variables['element'];

);
?>

#default_tab

Used by: vertical_tabs

Used by: button, checkbox, checkboxes, date, file, image_button, password, password_confirm, radio, radios, select, submit, text_format, textarea, textfield, weight

Description: Disables (greys out) a form input element. Setting #disabled to TRUE results in user input being ignored, regardless of how the element is themed or whether JavaScript is used to change the control's attributes.

Values: TRUE or FALSE

Usage example (system.module):

<?php
     
if (isset($disabled[$name])) {

Values: An array of function names to be called to validate this element (and/or its children).

A validation function for an element takes $element, $form_state, and $form as parameters, and has the form:

function myelement_validate($element, &$form_state, $form) {
   if (empty(
$element['#value'])) {
    
form_error($element, t('This field is required.'));
   }
}

Usage example (file.field.inc):

Note: If you are altering an existing form element via hook_form_alter() or a similar means, be careful with this property! You will probably want to add to the existing array rather than writing over it, so in that case don't follow this usage example exactly.

You'll notice that the validation function below includes only the first two arguments. $form is the same as $form_state['complete form'], so the third parameter is in fact contained in the second parameter.

<?php
$form
['max_filesize'] = array(
   
'#type' => 'textfield',
   
'#title' => t('Maximum upload size'),
   
'#default_value' => $settings['max_filesize'],
   
'#description' => t('Enter a value like "512" (bytes), "80 KB" (kilobytes) or "50 MB" (megabytes) in order to restrict the allowed file size. If left empty the file sizes will be limited only by PHP\'s maximum post and file upload sizes (current limit <strong>%limit</strong>).', array('%limit' => format_size(file_upload_max_size()))),
   
'#size' => 10,
   
'#element_validate' => array('_file_generic_settings_max_filesize'),
   
'#weight' => 5,
  );
...
function
_file_generic_settings_max_filesize($element, &$form_state) {
  if (!empty(
$element['#value']) && !is_numeric(parse_size($element['#value']))) {
   
form_error($element, t('The "!name" option must contain a valid value. You may either leave the text field empty or enter a string like "512" (bytes), "80 KB" (kilobytes) or "50 MB" (megabytes).', array('!name' => t($element['title']))));
  }
}
?>

#empty

Used by: tableselect

Description: Text to display if the #options property is empty.

Values: Text, enclosed in the t() translation function.

#empty_option

Used by: select

Description: The label to show for the initial option denoting no selection in a select element. By default, the label is automatically set to "- Select -" for a required field and "- None -" for an optional field.

Values: Text, enclosed in the t() translation function.

Note: Use of this property plays a part in several possible states for a select field:

  • If #required is TRUE and there is no #default_value, an empty option is added to the select control to force the user to make an active choice.
  • If #empty_value or #empty_option is set and #required is FALSE (default), an empty option is added to the select control, allowing the user to choose nothing.
  • If none of #required, #empty_value, #empty_option, and #default_value are set, then no empty option is added to the select control. This leaves the control in a slightly illogical state, since all user agents automatically preselect the first available option.There's no way for the user to select nothing, and the user is also not forced to make an active decision.

#empty_value

Used by: select

Description: The value for the initial option denoting no selection in a select element, which is used to determine whether the user submitted a value or not.

Values: Defaults to empty string. Can be anything except NULL.

Note: Use of this property plays a part in several possible states for a select field:

  • If #required is TRUE and there is no #default_value, an empty option is added to the select control to force the user to make an active choice.
  • If #empty_value or #empty_option is set and #required is FALSE (default), an empty option is added to the select control, allowing the user to choose nothing.
  • If none of #required, #empty_value, #empty_option, and #default_value are set, then no empty option is added to the select control. This leaves the control in a slightly illogical state, since all user agents automatically preselect the first available option. There's no way for the user to select nothing, and the user is also not forced to make an active decision.

#error

INTERNAL. Indicates whether or not a form element has been flagged as having an error.

#executes_submit_callback

Used by: button, image_button, submit

Description: Indicates whether or not the submit handler should be run when the form is submitted using this button element.

'#default_value' => variable_get('site_403'''),
  
'#size' => 40,
  
'#description' => t('This page is displayed when the requested document is denied to the current user. If unsure, specify nothing.'),
  
'#field_prefix' => url(NULLNULLNULLTRUE) . (variable_get('clean_url'0) ? '' '?q=')
);
?>

#field_suffix

Used by: checkbox, machine_name, password, password_confirm, radio, select, textarea, textfield

Description: Text or code that is placed directly after a textfield. This can be used to add a unit to a textfield.

Values: Mixed

['settings_general']['upload_usersize_default'] = array(
  
'#type' => 'textfield',
  
'#title' => t('Default total file size per user'),
  
'#default_value' => $upload_usersize_default,
  
'#size' => 5,

);
?>

#group

#js_select

Used by: tableselect

Description: Whether to include a select all checkbox.

Values: TRUE to add a select all box to each row of the table, FALSE to omit the select all box. Only applies if #multiple is also TRUE.

#limit_validation_errors

Used by: button, image_button, submit

Description: Provides an array of sections which are parts of $form_state['values'] which should be validated, implying that sections which are not listed should not be validated. This is normally used in multistep forms in the case of a "back" button, for example, where '#limit_validation_errors' => array() would mean not to validate anything as form values on the current page are to be discarded anyway. #limit_validation_errors does not have any effect if #submit is not set. More discussion is in the form_set_error() documentation.

Values: array indicating sections of the $form_state['values'] which should be validated.

#markup

Used by: item, markup

Description: Used to set HTML that will be output on the form.

  '#maxlength'
=> 128,
  '#required'

);
?>

Description: Indicates whether the user may select more than one item.

Values: TRUE or FALSE

Usage example (taxonomy.module):

<?php

  '#default_value'
=> $value,
  '#options'
=> $options,
  '#description'
=> $description,
  '#multiple'

Values: An array in the form of array(t('Display value 1'), t('Display value 2')) or array('return_value1' => t('Display Value 1'), 'return_value2' => t('Display Value 2')) if specific return values are required. If returned values are identical to displayed values, you can use drupal_map_assoc() as in the example below. The #options property needs special handling for checkboxes, and works completely differently for tableselect. See the respective element descriptions for details.

Usage example (form_example_states.inc):

<?php
  $form
['undergraduate']['school_country'] = array(
    
'#type' => 'select',
    
'#options' => drupal_map_assoc(array(t('UK'), t('Other'))),
    
'#title' => t('In what country is your college or university located?'),
  );
?>

#parents

Used by: All

Description: Identifies parent form elements. See #tree and #parents in the handbook and the complete comparison between #parents and #array_parents.

Values: An array of element names.

Usage example (comment.module):

<?php

  '#weight'
=> -1,
);
?>

#post_render

Used by: All elements and forms

Description: Function(s) to call after rendering in drupal_render() has occured. The named function is called with two arguments, the rendered element and its children. It returns the (potentially) altered) element content.

Values: An array of function names to call.

Usage example:

Note: If you are altering an existing form via hook_form_alter() or a similar means, be careful with this property! You will probably want to add to the existing array rather than writing over it, so don't follow this usage example exactly.

<?php
$form
['admin']['#post_render'] = array('admin_form_html_cleanup');
?>

This example would call admin_form_html_cleanup($content, $element) after $element has been rendered to $content via drupal_render(). $content may then be modified and must be returned.

#prefix

Used by: All elements and forms.

Description: Text or markup to include before the form element. Also see #suffix.

Values: Mixed

Usage example (poll.module):

<?php
$form
['choice'] = array(

);
?>

#pre_render

Used by: All elements and forms.

Description: Function(s) to call before rendering in drupal_render() has occured. The function(s) provided in #pre_render receive the element as an argument and must return the altered element.

Values: An array of function names to call.

Usage example (filter.module):

Note: If you are altering an existing form via hook_form_alter() or a similar means, be careful with this property! As demonstrated here, you will probably want to add to the existing array rather than writing over it.

// Prepend #pre_render callback to replace field value with user notice
// prior to rendering.
if (!isset($element['value']['#pre_render'])) {
  $element['value']['#pre_render'] = array();
}
array_unshift($element['value']['#pre_render'], 'filter_form_access_denied');

...
function filter_form_access_denied($element) {
  $element['#value'] = t('This field has been disabled because you do not have sufficient permissions to edit it.');
  return $element;
}

This example would call filter_form_access_denied($element) before the $element has been rendered via drupal_render(). $element may then be modified and is returned for rendering.

#printed

INTERNAL. Used to determine whether or not a form element has been printed yet.

#process

Used by: All

Description: An array of functions that are called when an element is processed. Using this callback, modules can "register" further actions. For example, the "radios" form type is expanded to multiple radio buttons using a processing function.

Values: Array of function names (strings)

Usage example (system.module) in system_element_info():

Note: If you are altering an existing form via hook_form_alter() or a similar means, be careful with this property! You will probably want to add to the existing array rather than writing over it, so don't follow this usage example exactly.

<?php
$types
['radios'] = array(
'#input' => TRUE,
'#process' => array('form_process_radios'),
'#theme_wrappers' => array('radios'),
'#pre_render' => array('form_pre_render_conditional_form_element'),
);
?>

In this example, the function form_process_radios is called; the entire radios element is passed in as the argument. This function expands a radios element into individual radio buttons.

#processed

INTERNAL. Used to ascertain whether or not a form element has been processed (ie: expanded to multiple elements).

#required

Used by: checkbox, checkboxes, date, file, password, password_confirm, radio, radios, select, text_format, textarea, textfield, weight

    '#states' => array(
      // Hide the settings when the cancel notify checkbox is disabled.
      'invisible' => array(
       ':input[name="email_canceled_toggle"]' => array('checked' => FALSE),
      ),
    ),
  );

#submit

Used by: button, image_button, submit, form

Description:  A list of custom submit functions that will be called when the element is submitted. This is usually to add additional submit functions to a form, or to use an alternate function rather than the default form submission function which is the form ID with _submit appended to it.

Values: An array of function names. Each such function will take $form and $form_state as parameters.

Usage example (node_form()):

if (!empty($node->nid) && node_access('delete', $node)) {

Description: Indicates how the label should be rendered. The label includes the #title and the required marker, if #required. If the #title is empty but the field is #required, the label will contain only the required marker.

Values: String.

Possible values:

  • before: The label is output before the element. This is the default for most elements.
  • after: The label is output after the element. For example, this is used for radio and checkbox #type elements as set in system_elements().
  • invisible: #title is rendered as a label element before the form element in the page markup, and is made invisible with the Drupal 7 .element-invisible system CSS class (system.base.css). This makes #title remain available to screen-reader users, but hides it from being displayed visually in the browser.
  • attribute: Set the title attribute on the element to create a tooltip but output no label element. This is supported only for checkboxes and radios in form_pre_render_conditional_form_element(). It is used where a visual label is not needed, such as a table of checkboxes where the row and column provide the context. The tooltip will include the title and required marker.

Usage example (block.module):

<?php
$form
['blocks'][$key]['weight'] = array(
 '#type' => 'weight',
 '#default_value' => $block['weight'],

 '#title' => t('Weight for @block block', array('@block' => $block['info'])),
);

?>

#tree

Used by: All

Description: Used to allow collections of form elements. Normally applied to the "parent" element, as the #tree property cascades to sub-elements. Use where you previously used ][ in form_ calls. For more information, see #tree and #parents in the handbook.

?>

#validate

Used by: button, image_button, form, submit

Description: A list of custom validation functions that need to be passed.This is usually used to add additional validation functions to a form, or to use an alternate function rather than the default form validation function which is the form ID with _validate appended to it.

Values: An array of function names. Each such function will take $form and $form_state as parameters and should use form_set_error() if the form values do not pass validation. For example:

function test_form_validate($form, &$form_state) {
  if (
$form_state['values']['name'] == '') {
    
form_set_error('name', t('You must select a name for this group of settings.'));
  }
}

Usage example (node.module):

Note: If you are altering an existing form via hook_form_alter() or a similar means, be careful with this property! You will probably want to add to the existing array rather than writing over it, so don't follow this usage example exactly.

<?php
   
// Node types:
   
$types = array_map('check_plain', node_get_types('names'));
   
$form['advanced']['type'] = array(
     
'#type' => 'checkboxes',
     
'#title' => t('Only of the type(s)'),

?>

#value_callback

Used by: All elements.

Description: Specifies the name of a custom value function that implements how user input is mapped to an element's #value property.

Values: A single function name to be called to set the value of this element.

A value function for an element takes $element, $input and $form_state as parameters, and has the form:

<?php
function myelement_value($element, $input = FALSE, $form_state = array()) {
  if (
$input === FALSE) {
    return isset(
$element['#default_value']) ? $element['#default_value'] : 0;

'#extended' => TRUE,
  );
...
function
file_field_widget_value($element, $input = FALSE, $form_state) {
  if (
$input) {
   
// Checkboxes lose their value when empty.
    // If the display field is present make sure its unchecked value is saved.
   
$field = field_widget_field($element, $form_state);
    if (empty(
$input['display'])) {
     
$input['display'] = $field['settings']['display_field'] ? 0 : 1;
    }
  }
?>

<h3><a name="machine_name" id="machine_name">machine_name</a></h3>

<p><strong>Description</strong>: Format a single-line text field to store a unique machine-readable name.</p>

<p>Provides a form element to enter a machine name, which is validated to ensure that the name is unique and does not contain disallowed characters. All disallowed characters are replaced with a replacement character via JavaScript.</p>
<p>The element validation checks that the submitted value</p>
<ul>
<li>does not contain the replacement character only</li>
<li>does not contain disallowed characters</li>
<li>is unique; i.e., does not already exist</li>
<li>does not exceed the maximum length (via <a href="#maxlength">#maxlength</a>)</li>
<li>cannot be changed after creation (via <a href="#disabled">#disabled</a>)</li>
</ul>

<p><strong>Non-standard form element properties</strong>:</p>
<ul>
<li>#machine_name: (array) 
  <ul>
    <li>exists: A function name to invoke for checking whether a submitted machine name value already exists. The submitted value is passed as argument. In most cases, an existing API or menu argument function can be re-used. The callback is only invoked, if the submitted value differs from the element's #default_value</li>
    <li>source: (optional) The #array_parents of the form element containing the human-readable name (i.e., as contained in the $form structure) to use as source for the machine name. Defaults to array('name').</li>
    <li>label: (optional) A text to display as label for the machine name value after the human-readable name form element. Defaults to "Machine name".</li>
    <li>replace_pattern: (optional) A regular expression (without delimiters) matching disallowed characters in the machine name. Defaults to '[^a-z0-9_]+'.</li>
    <li>replace: (optional) A character to replace disallowed characters in the machine name via JavaScript. Defaults to '_' (underscore). When using a different character, 'replace_pattern' needs to be set accordingly.</li>

<h3><a name="managed_file" id="managed_file">managed_file</a></h3>

<p><strong>Description</strong>: Provides a complete ajax/progress aware widget for uploading a file and saving it to the {file_managed} table.</p>

<p>By default a simple upload button is provided for choosing the file to upload. Once a file has been chosen it can be explicitly uploaded via the "Upload" button. The upload is via AJAX and a progress meter is displayed. The form's validate and submit handlers receive a file object ID in $form_state['values'] that represents the ID of the new file in the {file_managed} table.</p>

<p>The #managed_file element is expanded into a set of FAPI elements including two '#submit' buttons one for Upload one for Remove, a '#file' element and a handful of '#hidden' and '#markup' elements to handle progress indication and displaying of already uploaded files.</p>

<p><strong>Note:</strong> New files are uploaded with a status of 0 and are treated as temporary files which are removed after 6 hours via cron. Your module is responsible for changing the $file objects status to FILE_STATUS_PERMANENT and saving the new status to the database. Something like the following within your submit handler should do the trick.</p>
<div class="codeblock"><code><span style="color: #000000"><span style="color: #0000BB">&lt;?php<br />  </span><span style="color: #FF8000">// Load the file via file.fid.<br />  </span><span style="color: #0000BB">$file </span><span style="color: #007700">= </span><span style="color: #0000BB">file_load</span><span style="color: #007700">(</span><span style="color: #0000BB">$form_state</span><span style="color: #007700">[</span><span style="color: #DD0000">'values'</span><span style="color: #007700">][</span><span style="color: #DD0000">'my_file_field'</span><span style="color: #007700">]);<br />  </span><span style="color: #FF8000">// Change status to permanent.<br />  </span><span style="color: #0000BB">$file</span><span style="color: #007700">-&gt;</span><span style="color: #0000BB">status </span><span style="color: #007700">= </span><span style="color: #0000BB">FILE_STATUS_PERMANENT</span><span style="color: #007700">;<br />  </span><span style="color: #FF8000">// Save.<br />  </span><span style="color: #0000BB">file_save</span><span style="color: #007700">(</span><span style="color: #0000BB">$file</span><span style="color: #007700">);<br />  </span><span style="color: #FF8000">// Record that the module (in this example, user module) is using the file. <br />  </span><span style="color: #0000BB">file_usage_add</span><span style="color: #007700">(</span><span style="color: #0000BB">$file</span><span style="color: #007700">, </span><span style="color: #DD0000">'user'</span><span style="color: #007700">, </span><span style="color: #DD0000">'user'</span><span style="color: #007700">, </span><span style="color: #0000BB">$account</span><span style="color: #007700">-&gt;</span><span style="color: #0000BB">uid</span><span style="color: #007700">);  <br /></span><span style="color: #0000BB">?&gt;</span></span></code></div>
<p>(Without the call to file_usage_add, file_managed_file_validate produces an error upon saving the form, saying that the uploaded file may not be referenced.)</p>
<p>Once a file has been uploaded the file object's fid can be used as the #default_value for the form element. This will display an icon, a link to the file, and a remove button.</p>

<p>Clicking the remove button sets the value of the field to 0 and your module is responsible for actually removing the file from the files table and the file system using file_delete().</p>

<p><strong>Non-standard form element properties</strong>:</p>
<ul>
<li>#progress_indicator: options are 'none', 'bar', and 'throbber', default is 'throbber'.</li>
<li>#progress_message: (string) Progress message to display along with progress meter while a file is being uploaded. Defaults to NULL.</li>
<li>#upload_validators: (array) an array of callback functions to perform validation of uploaded files.</li>
<li>#upload_location (string) location on server where uploaded files should be stored. e.g.) 'public://files/my_files_director'</li>

<p>Note:
if you use markup, if your content is not wrapped in tags (generally
&lt;p&gt; or &lt;div&gt;), your content will fall outside of collapsed
fieldsets.</p>

<h3><a name="tableselect" id="tableselect">tableselect</a></h3>

<p><strong>Description</strong>:
A table created with a far left column of radios or checkboxes. Build the table headings and
columns with the #headers property, and the rows with the #options property. See
<a href="http://drupal.org/node/945102#drupal7">Adding checkboxes to a table</a>
for a full explanation.</p>
<p>Other settings:</p>
<ul>
<li>
To set accessibility tags for the radios or checkboxes, build one of the cells in the #options property
using the 'title' => array( 'data' => array(#title => 'mytitle'))) construction, as in the $options variable
in the usage example below. Drupal will create invisible label tags for the left column based on this value.</li>
<li>To disable the default "check all" button for the checkboxes, set
#js_select property to FALSE. This is FALSE by default for radios. </li>
<li>Setting #multiple to TRUE will give you checkboxes instead of radios. </li>
</ul>

<p><strong>Non-standard Properties</strong>:</p>
<ul>
<li>#format: the format to apply. If you want to use the default format, set this property to NULL in your form constructor function, and the filter system will handle the rest.</li>
<li>#base_type (optional): defaults to 'textarea'. This makes it possible to also attach the text format selector to other form element types, such as textfields.</li>

<h3><a name="token" id="token">token</a></h3>

<p><strong>Description</strong>:
Store token data in a hidden form field (generally used to protect
against cross-site forgeries). A token element is automatically added
to each Drupal form by drupal_prepare_form(), so you don't generally
have to add one yourself.</p>

<a href="#weightval">#weight</a></p>

<h3><a name="val" id="val">value</a></h3>

<p><strong>Description</strong>: A form value
that is internal to the
form and never displayed to the screen.</p>

<p><strong>Properties</strong>: <a href="#type"><strong>#type</strong></a>,
<a href="#value"><strong>#value</strong></a></p>

<p><strong>Usage example</strong> (<a href="http://api.drupal.org/api/file/modules/node/node.module">node.module</a>):</p>

<p><code><span class="def-txt"><span class="b-txt">&lt;?php<br />

</span><span class="b-txt">?&gt;</span></span></code></p>

<p>Note that as of Drupal 6, you can also simply store arbitrary
variables in <code>$form['#foo']</code> instead, as long as <code>'#foo'</code>
does not conflict with any other internal property of the Form API.</p>

<h3><a name="vertical_tabs" id="vertical_tabs">vertical_tabs</a></h3>

<p>An array of elements whose values control the behavior of the
element with respect to the <a href="https://api.drupal.org/api/drupal/includes%21ajax.inc/group/ajax/7.x">Drupal AJAX framework</a>.</p>

<p><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AJAX">AJAX</a>
(Asynchronous Javascript and XML) is a term used for dynamic
communication between the browser and the server, without page reloads.
A purist would insist that the Drupal technique is <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AHAH">AHAH</a>
(Asychronous HTML and HTTP) because XML is not used. Until Drupal 7,
AJAX was known as AHAH. In a nutshell an AJAX request follows these
steps:</p>

<ol>

  <li>Drupal builds a form element with a set of #ajax properties. The <code>misc/ajax.js</code>
file is included on the page automatically. </li>
  <li>ajax.js finds all the form elements on the page that have an <a href="#ajax_callback">#ajax['callback']</a> <em>or</em> an <a href="#ajax_path">#ajax['path']</a> set and adds an event handler for
the <a href="#ajax_event">#ajax['event']</a> set on that form element.</li>
  <li>When the <a href="#ajax_event">#ajax['event']</a> occurs on the
element (such as 'click'), the AJAX request is made to the Drupal path
of the element's <a href="#ajax_path">#ajax['path']</a>. If an <a href="#ajax_callback">#ajax['callback']</a> has been specified (the
normal case), the Drupal path will be <code>system/ajax</code>.</li>
  <li>Form information gets processed, and the function specified in <a href="#ajax_callback">#ajax['callback']</a> is called. &nbsp;<a href="forms_api_reference.html#ajax_callback">#ajax['callback']</a>
can return either HTML, a renderable array, or an array of <a href="https://api.drupal.org/api/drupal/includes%21ajax.inc/group/ajax_commands/7.x">AJAX commands</a>.</li>
  <li>While the user
waits for the callback to execute a throbber or progress bar is shown
as determined by <a href="#ajax_progress">#ajax['progress']</a>. The
result is returned to the original page containing the form element.</li>
  <li>ajax.js gets the result. If it is HTML and&nbsp;<a href="forms_api_reference.html#ajax_wrapper">#ajax['wrapper']</a> is
set, the HTML replaces the element specified by <a href="forms_api_reference.html#ajax_wrapper">#ajax['wrapper']</a>. If
it is an array of AJAX commands, the commands are executed. and inserts
the returned HTML into the <a href="#ajax_wrapper">#ajax['wrapper']</a>.&nbsp;</li>
</ol>

<p>Example usages of basic AJAX and AJAX commands are provided in the <a href="http://drupal.org/project/examples">Examples module</a>.</p>

<h3><a name="ajax_callback" id="ajax_callback">#ajax['callback']</a></h3>

<p><strong>Description</strong>:
Specifies the name of a callback function which will be called during
an AJAX call. It can return HTML, a renderable array, or an array of <a href="https://api.drupal.org/api/drupal/includes%21ajax.inc/group/ajax_commands/7.x">AJAX Commands</a>.
This callback
function is given the <code>$form</code> and <code>$form_state</code>
parameters, allowing it to produce a result, which it returns for
rendering.</p>

<p>Note:
#ajax['callback'] and #ajax['path'] are mutually exclusive. 'callback'
is easier to
use and requires less code setup, but may not provide the
capabilities required for some functions. When you can, use 'callback'.</p>

<p><strong>Values</strong>: String containing a function name.</p>

<h3><a name="ajax_effect" id="ajax_effect">#ajax['effect']</a></h3>

<p><strong>Description</strong>:
Specifies the effect used when adding
the content from an AJAX request.</p>

<p><strong>Values</strong>:
String. Possible values: 'none' (default),
'fade', 'slide'. If the <a href="http://interface.eyecon.ro/">interface
elements library</a> is installed, any effect with the name <em>effect</em>Toggle
may also be used. </p>

<h3><a name="ajax_event" id="ajax_event">#ajax['event']</a></h3>

<p><strong>Description</strong>:
When this event occurs to this
element, Drupal will perform an HTTP request in the background via
Javascript.</p>

<p><strong>Values</strong>:
String. Possible values: Any valid <a href="http://docs.jquery.com/Events">jQuery event</a>, including 'mousedown' (for
submit, imagebutton, and button), 'blur' (for textfield and textarea), 'change' (for
select). Note that #ajax['event'] does not need to be explicitly
specified. Although it can be manually set, usually the default value
will be sufficient.</p>

<h3><a name="ajax_keypress" id="ajax_keypress">#ajax['keypress']</a></h3>
<p><strong>Description</strong>:
If set to TRUE, then the element's #ajax['event'] will be triggered if the 
ENTER key is pressed while the element has focus.</p>


<h3><a name="ajax_method" id="ajax_method">#ajax['method']</a></h3>

<p><strong>Description</strong>:
Modify the behavior of the returned
HTML from an AJAX request when inserting into the <a href="#ajax_wrapper">#ajax['wrapper']</a>. If not set, the returned
HTML will <span style="font-style: italic;">replace</span> the
contents of the wrapper element, but it's also possible to use any of
the available <a href="https://api.jquery.com/category/manipulation">jQuery
operations for DOM manipulation</a>. </p>

<p><strong>Values</strong>: String. Possible values: 'replace'
(default), 'after', 'append', 'before', 'prepend'.</p>

<h3><a name="ajax_path" id="ajax_path">#ajax['path']</a></h3>

<p><strong>Description</strong>:
This is the Drupal menu path for a callback function which will
generate
HTML and return the string of HTML to Drupal. The result will replace
the div specified in <a href="#ajax_wrapper">#ajax['wrapper']</a>.
This property is infrequently used in Drupal 7 and higher, because it
is set automatically if using the <a href="#ajax_callback">#ajax['callback']</a>
property. When using #ajax['callback'] the path is automatically set to
<code>system/ajax</code>, which provides a menu callback that can be
used for many situations.</p>

<p>Note: 'path' and 'callback' are mutually exclusive.</p>

<p><strong>Values</strong>: String containing a Drupal menu path.</p>

<h3><a name="ajax_prevent" id="ajax_prevent">#ajax['prevent']</a></h3>

<p><strong>Description</strong>:
A JavaScript event to prevent when 'event' is triggered. Defaults to 'click' for
#ajax on #type 'submit', 'button', and 'image_button'. Multiple events may be
specified separated by spaces. For example, when binding #ajax behaviors to form
buttons, pressing the ENTER key within a textfield triggers the 'click' event of
the form's first submit button. Triggering Ajax in this situation leads to
problems, like breaking autocomplete textfields. Because of that, Ajax behaviors
are bound to the 'mousedown' event on form buttons by default. However, binding
to 'mousedown' rather than 'click' means that it is possible to trigger a click
by pressing the mouse, holding the mouse button down until the Ajax request is
complete and the button is re-enabled, and then releasing the mouse button. For
this case, 'prevent' can be set to 'click', so an additional event handler is
bound to prevent such a click from triggering a non-Ajax form submission. This
also prevents a textfield's ENTER press triggering a button's non-Ajax form
submission behavior.</p>

<p><strong>Values</strong>:
String. Possible values: One or more <a href="http://docs.jquery.com/Events">jQuery events</a>, with <a href="http://api.jquery.com/bind#multiple-events">multiple events</a> separated by space characters.</p>

<h3><a name="ajax_progress" id="ajax_progress">#ajax['progress']</a></h3>

<p><strong>Description</strong>:
Choose either a throbber or progress bar that is displayed while
awaiting a response from the callback, and add an optional message.</p>

<p><strong>Values</strong>:
Array.</p>

<p>Possible keys: 'type', 'message', 'url', 'interval'</p>

<p>Possible values:</p>

<ul>

  <li><strong>#ajax['progress']['type']</strong>
String. Possible values: 'throbber' (default), 'bar'. </li>
  <li><strong>#ajax['progress']['message']</strong>
String. An optional message to the user; should be wrapped with t(). </li>
   <li><strong>#ajax['progress']['url']</strong>
String. The optional callback path to use to determine how full the
progress bar is (as defined in progress.js). Only useable when 'type' is 'bar'. </li>
  <li><strong>#ajax['progress']['interval']</strong>
String. The interval to be used in updating the progress bar (as defined
in progress.js). Ony used if 'url' is defined and 'type' is 'bar'.
    </li>
</ul>

<p><strong>Usage example</strong> (<a href="http://api.drupal.org/api/file/modules/file/file.module">file.module</a>):</p>

For a non-submit, non-button element, allows selection of the submit element
which will be activated when the element is triggered. For example, if a
select element is ajax-enabled, and it changes, an element identified by
#ajax['trigger_as']['name'] or #ajax['trigger_as']['value'] will be used
as the triggering element, especially for button-level validation.</p>

<p><strong>Values</strong>: Array.</p>

<p>Possible values</p>
<ul>
<li>array('name' => some_submit_or_button_name)</li>
<li>array('value' => some_submit_or_button_value)</li>
</ul>

<p>Note that if #tree == TRUE, #name encodes the parents of the element in it, as when used with form_set_error(), i.e. "level1][level2][element".</p>


<h3><a name="ajax_wrapper" id="ajax_wrapper">#ajax['wrapper']</a></h3>

<p><strong>Description</strong>:
This property defines the HTML id attribute of an element on the page
which will be replaced by the html returned by the <a href="#ajax_path">#ajax['path']</a>
or <a href="#ajax_callback">#ajax['callback']</a>
function. Usually, a div element is used as the wrapper, as it provides
the most flexibility for placement of elements before, after, or inside
of its HTML tags. This property is required for using AJAX requests in
on a form element. &nbsp;Note that the entire element with this ID is
replaced, not just the contents of the element.</p>

<p><strong>Values</strong>: String containg a valid id attribute of an
HTML element on the same page. This <span style="font-style: italic;">must
not contain</span> the '#' character that a selector would have.</p>

<p><strong>Usage example</strong>:</p>

<div class="codeblock"><code><span class="def-txt"><span class="b-txt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;

<h3><a name="array_parents" id="array_parents">#array_parents</a></h3>

<p><strong>Used by</strong>: All form elements</p>
<p><strong>Description</strong>: (read-only, and mostly <b>internal</b>). The array of names of the
element's parents (including itself) in the form. This will always match the structure of $form.
It is different from <a href="#parents">#parents</a> in that #parents lists only the
structure used in $form_state['values'], which is flat unless #tree is set to TRUE.
Please see the <a href="http://drupal.org/node/279246#comment-2292322">complete comparison between #parents and #array_parents</a>.</p>

<h3><a name="attached" id="attached">#attached</a></h3>

<p><strong>Used by</strong>: All form elements</p>
<p><strong>Description</strong>: Allows loading of CSS, Javascript, libraries, or custom types when
the form is built. </p>

<p><strong>Values</strong>: A keyed array of type => value pairs, where the
type (most often 'css', 'js', and 'library') determines the loading technique,
and the value provides the options presented to the loader function. See the example
below and the loader functions <a href="http://api.drupal.org/api/function/drupal_add_css">drupal_add_css()</a>, <a href="http://api.drupal.org/api/function/drupal_add_js">drupal_add_js()</a>, <a href="http://api.drupal.org/api/function/drupal_add_library">drupal_add_library()</a>, etc.
</p>

<p>See <a href="http://api.drupal.org/api/function/drupal_process_attached">drupal_process_attached()</a> for additional information.</p>

<p><strong>Usage example</strong> (<a href="https://api.drupal.org/api/examples/ajax_example%21ajax_example_graceful_degradation.inc/function/ajax_example_dependent_dropdown_degrades/7.x-1.x">AJAX Example</a>):</p>

<div class="codeblock"> <code>
$form['#attached']['css'] = array(<br/>  drupal_get_path('module', 'ajax_example') . '/ajax_example.css',<br/>);<br/>
$form['#attached']['js'] = array(<br/>  drupal_get_path('module', 'ajax_example') . '/ajax_example.js',<br/>);<br/>
</code>
</div>

<p>The above javascript #attach could also be written as:</p>
<div class="codeblock"> <code>
$form['#attached']['js'] = array(<br/>&nbsp;&nbsp;drupal_get_path('module', 'ajax_example') . '/ajax_example.js' => array(<br/>&nbsp;&nbsp;'type' => 'file',<br/>&nbsp;&nbsp;),<br/>);<br/>
</code>
</div>

<p>and inline javascript can be loaded with the javascript as the key of the array,
as described in <a href="http://api.drupal.org/api/function/drupal_add_js">drupal_add_js()</a>.</p>

<p><strong>Adding settings</strong></p>
<p>You add a javascript setting by using the 'data' key (as php keys can't be arrays):</p>
<div class="codeblock"> <code>
$settings = array('id' => 'mymodule-element-1');<br />
$form['#attached']['js'][] = array(<br/>&nbsp;&nbsp;'data' => array('mymodule' => $settings),<br/>&nbsp;&nbsp;'type' => 'setting',<br/>);<br/>
</code>
</div>

<p><strong>Description</strong>: Disables (greys out) a form input
element. Setting #disabled to TRUE results in user input being ignored, regardless
of how the element is themed or whether JavaScript is used to change the
control's attributes.</p>

<p><strong>Values</strong>: TRUE or FALSE</p>

<p><strong>Usage example</strong> (<a href="http://api.drupal.org/api/file/modules/system/system.module">system.module</a>):</p>

<h3><a name="element_validate" id="element_validate">#element_validate</a></h3>

<p><strong>Used by</strong>: Any element.</p>

<p><strong>Description</strong>:
A list of custom validation functions. The validation functions must use form_error() or form_set_error() to flag the element as having an error if
the validation fails.</p>

<p><strong>Values</strong>: An array of function names to be called to
validate this element (and/or its children).</p>

<p>A validation function for an element takes $element, $form_state, and $form as parameters, and has the form:</p>

<div class="codeblock">
<code> <span class="g-txt">function </span><span class="b-txt">myelement_validate</span><span class="g-txt">(</span><span class="b-txt">$element</span><span class="g-txt">, &amp;</span><span class="b-txt">$form_state, $form</span><span class="g-txt">) {<br />&nbsp;&nbsp; if (empty(</span><span class="b-txt">$element</span><span class="g-txt">[</span><span class="r-txt">'#value'</span><span class="g-txt">])) {<br />&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; </span><span class="b-txt">form_error</span><span class="g-txt">(</span><span class="b-txt">$element</span><span class="g-txt">, </span><span class="b-txt">t</span><span class="g-txt">(</span><span class="r-txt">'This field is required.'</span><span class="g-txt">));<br />&nbsp;&nbsp; }<br />}<br /></span> </code> </div>

<p><strong>Usage example</strong> (<a href="http://api.drupal.org/api/file/modules/file/file.field.inc">file.field.inc</a>):</p>

<p><strong>Note:</strong> If you are altering an existing form element via
hook_form_alter() or a similar means, be careful with this property!
You will probably want to add to the existing array rather than writing
over it, so in that case don't follow this usage example exactly.</p>

<p>You'll notice that the validation function below includes only the first two arguments. $form is the same as $form_state['complete form'], so the third parameter is in fact contained in the second parameter.</p>

<h3><a name="empty" id="empty">#empty</a></h3>

<p><strong>Used by</strong>: <a href="#tableselect">tableselect</a></p>

<p><strong>Description</strong>: Text to display if the #options
property is empty.</p>

<p><strong>Values</strong>: Text, enclosed in the t() translation
function.</p>

<h3><a name="empty_option" id="empty_option">#empty_option</a></h3>

<p><strong>Used by</strong>: <a href="#select">select</a></p>

<p><strong>Description</strong>: The label to show for the initial option denoting
no selection in a select element. By default, the label is automatically set to
"- Select -" for a required field and "- None -" for an optional field.</p>

<p><strong>Values</strong>: Text, enclosed in the t() translation
function.</p>

<p><strong>Note:</strong> Use of this property plays a part in several possible
states for a select field:</p>
<ul>
<li>If <a href="#required">#required</a> is TRUE and there is no <a href="#default_value">#default_value</a>,
an empty option is added to the select control to force the user to make an active choice.</li>
<li>If <a href="#empty_value">#empty_value</a> or #empty_option is set and <a href="#required">#required</a>
is FALSE (default), an empty option is added to the select control, allowing the user to choose nothing.</li>
<li>If none of <a href="#required">#required</a>, <a href="#empty_value">#empty_value</a>, #empty_option,
and <a href="#default_value">#default_value</a> are set, then no empty option is added to the select control.
This leaves the control in a slightly illogical state, since all user agents automatically preselect the first
available option.There's no way for the user to select nothing, and the user is also not forced to make an active decision.</li>
</ul>

<h3><a name="empty_value" id="empty_value">#empty_value</a></h3>

<p><strong>Used by</strong>: <a href="#select">select</a></p>

<p><strong>Description</strong>: The value for the initial option denoting no selection
in a select element, which is used to determine whether the user submitted a value or not.</p>

<p><strong>Values</strong>: Defaults to empty string. Can be anything except NULL.</p>

<p><strong>Note:</strong> Use of this property plays a part in several possible
states for a select field:</p>
<ul>
<li>If <a href="#required">#required</a> is TRUE and there is no <a href="#default_value">#default_value</a>,
an empty option is added to the select control to force the user to make an active choice.</li>
<li>If #empty_value or <a href="#empty_option">#empty_option</a> is set and <a href="#required">#required</a>
is FALSE (default), an empty option is added to the select control, allowing the user to choose nothing.</li>
<li>If none of <a href="#required">#required</a>, #empty_value, <a href="#empty_option">#empty_option</a>,
and <a href="#default_value">#default_value</a> are set, then no empty option is added to the select control.
This leaves the control in a slightly illogical state, since all user agents automatically preselect the first
available option. There's no way for the user to select nothing, and the user is also not forced to make an active decision.</li>

<p><strong>Description</strong>: Column headers.</p>

<p><strong>Values</strong>:
Associative array where the keys are the field names to use for each
column, and the values are the translated text to display for each
column header.</p>

<h3><a name="id" id="id">#id</a></h3>

<p><strong>Description</strong>: Internal. Used to populate form elements' id property. In rare
cases, you can set this value yourself on a form element, to override
the default setting.</p>

<p><strong>Value</strong>: HTML id string.</p>

<h3><a name="input" id="input">#input</a></h3>

to validate anything as form values
on the current page are to be discarded anyway. <em>#limit_validation_errors
does not
have any effect if #submit is not set.</em> More discussion is in
the <a href="http://api.drupal.org/api/function/form_set_error">form_set_error()
documentation</a>.<br />

<h3><a name="post_render" id="post_render">#post_render</a></h3>

<p><strong>Used by</strong>: All elements and forms</p>

<p><strong>Description</strong>:
Function(s) to call <strong>after</strong>
rendering in <a href="https://api.drupal.org/api/drupal/includes%21common.inc/function/drupal_render/7.x" class="local">drupal_render</a>()
has occured. The named function is called with two arguments, the rendered element and its children. It returns the (potentially)
altered) element content.</p>

<p><strong>Values</strong>: An array of function names to call.</p>

<p><strong>Usage example</strong>:</p>

<p><strong>Note:</strong> If you are altering an existing form via
hook_form_alter() or a similar means, be careful with this property!
You will probably want to add to the existing array rather than writing
over it, so don't follow this usage example exactly.</p>

<div class="codeblock"><code><span class="def-txt"> <span class="b-txt">&lt;?php<br />
$form</span><span class="g-txt">[</span><span class="r-txt">'admin'</span><span class="g-txt">][</span><span class="r-txt">'#post_render'</span><span class="g-txt">] = array(</span><span class="r-txt">'admin_form_html_cleanup'</span><span class="g-txt">);<br />
</span><span class="b-txt">?&gt;</span></span></code>
<p>This example would call admin_form_html_cleanup($content, $element)
after $element has been rendered to $content via <a href="https://api.drupal.org/api/drupal/includes%21common.inc/function/drupal_render/7.x" class="local">drupal_render</a>().

<h3><a name="pre_render" id="pre_render">#pre_render</a></h3>

<p><strong>Used by</strong>: All elements and forms.</p>

<p><strong>Description</strong>:
Function(s) to call <strong>before</strong>
rendering in <a href="https://api.drupal.org/api/drupal/includes%21common.inc/function/drupal_render/7.x" class="local">drupal_render</a>()
has occured. The function(s) provided in #pre_render receive the element as an argument and
must return the altered element.</p>

<p><strong>Values</strong>: An array of function names to call.</p>

<p><strong>Usage example (filter.module)</strong>:</p>

<p><strong>Note:</strong> If you are altering an existing form via
hook_form_alter() or a similar means, be careful with this property!
As demonstrated here, you will probably want to add to the existing array rather than writing
over it.</p>

<div class="codeblock"><code>
// Prepend #pre_render callback to replace field value with user notice<br />
// prior to rendering.<br />
if (!isset($element['value']['#pre_render'])) {<br />
&nbsp;&nbsp;$element['value']['#pre_render'] = array();<br />
}<br />
array_unshift($element['value']['#pre_render'], 'filter_form_access_denied');<br />
<br />
...<br />
function filter_form_access_denied($element) {<br />
&nbsp;&nbsp;$element['#value'] = t('This field has been disabled because you do not have sufficient permissions to edit it.');<br />
&nbsp;&nbsp;return $element;<br />
}<br />
</code>
<p>This example would call filter_form_access_denied($element) before
the $element has been rendered via <a href="https://api.drupal.org/api/drupal/includes%21common.inc/function/drupal_render/7.x" class="local">drupal_render</a>().
$element may then be modified and is returned for rendering.</p>
</div>

<h3><a name="printed" id="printed">#printed</a></h3>

<p>INTERNAL. Used to determine whether
or not a form element has been
printed yet.</p>

<h3><a name="process">#process</a></h3>

<p><strong>Used by</strong>: All</p>

<p><strong>Description</strong>:
An array of functions that are called when an element is processed.
Using this callback, modules can "register" further actions. For
example, the "radios" form type is expanded to multiple radio buttons
using a processing function.</p>

<p><strong>Values</strong>: Array of function names (strings)</p>

<p><strong>Usage example</strong> (<a href="http://api.drupal.org/api/file/modules/system/system.module">system.module</a>)
in <code>system_element_info()</code>:</p>

<p><strong>Note:</strong> If you are altering an existing form via
hook_form_alter() or a similar means, be careful with this property!
You will probably want to add to the existing array rather than writing
over it, so don't follow this usage example exactly.</p>

<p>In this example, the function <code>form_process_radios</code> is called;
the entire radios element is passed in as the argument. This function
expands a radios element into individual radio buttons.

<p>Possible values:</p>
<ul>
  <li><strong>before</strong>: The label is output before the element. This is the default for most elements.</li>
  <li><strong>after</strong>: The label is output after the element. For example, this is used for radio and checkbox #type elements as set in system_elements().</li>
  <li><strong>invisible</strong>: #title is rendered as a label element before the form element in the page markup, and is made invisible with the Drupal 7 .element-invisible system CSS class (system.base.css). This makes #title remain available to screen-reader users, but hides it from being displayed visually in the browser.</li>
  <li><strong>attribute</strong>: Set the title attribute on the element to create a tooltip but output no label element. This is supported only for checkboxes and radios in form_pre_render_conditional_form_element(). It is used where a visual label is not needed, such as a table of checkboxes where the row and column provide the context. The tooltip will include the title and required marker.</li>

<p><strong>Used by</strong>:
<a href="#button">button</a>,
<a href="#image_button">image_button</a>, <a href="#form">form</a>, <a href="#submit">submit</a></p>

<p><strong>Description</strong>:
A list of custom validation functions that need to be passed.This is
usually used to add additional validation functions to a form, or to
use an alternate function rather than the default form validation
function which is the form ID with <em>_validate</em> appended to it.</p>

<p><strong>Values</strong>:
An array of function names. Each such function will take $form and
$form_state as parameters and should use form_set_error() if the form
values do not pass validation. For example:</p>

<div class="codeblock"> <code> <span class="g-txt">function </span><span class="b-txt">test_form_validate</span><span class="g-txt">(</span><span class="b-txt">$form</span><span class="g-txt">, </span><span class="b-txt">&amp;$form_state</span><span class="g-txt">) {<br />
&nbsp;&nbsp;if (</span><span class="b-txt">$form_state['values']</span><span class="g-txt">[</span><span class="r-txt">'name'</span><span class="g-txt">] == </span><span class="r-txt">''</span><span class="g-txt">) {<br />
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;</span><span class="b-txt">form_set_error</span><span class="g-txt">(</span><span class="r-txt">'name'</span><span class="g-txt">, </span><span class="b-txt">t</span><span class="g-txt">(</span><span class="r-txt">'You must select a name for this group of settings.'</span><span class="g-txt">));<br />
&nbsp;&nbsp;}<br />
}</span> </code> </div>

<p><strong>Usage example</strong> (<a href="http://api.drupal.org/api/file/modules/node/node.module">node.module</a>):</p>

<p><strong>Note:</strong> If you are altering an existing form via
hook_form_alter() or a similar means, be careful with this property!
You will probably want to add to the existing array rather than writing
over it, so don't follow this usage example exactly.</p>
