Something inserts "/processwire/" in my form label

[modifiedcontent]

I have a simple front-end password update form like this:

Spoiler

<form method=post id=welcomeform>
<h4>Choose a new password</h4>
	
	<div class=field>
	<label for=pass>New Password</label>
	<input id=pass type=password name=pass placeholder='new password'>
	</div>
	
	<div class=field>
	<label for=pass2>New Password (Confirm)</label>
	<input id=pass2 type=password name=pass_confirm placeholder='new password (confirm)'>
	</div>

	<button type=submit name=welcomeform value='Send'>Set password</button>
</form>

 

In the browser the label of the second field shows up as follows:

Quote

new \processwire\password(confirm)

WTH?!

I can't figure out what is changing the label, what is inserting /processwire/ and reformatting the thing. Is this something in PW? A "helpful" thing that browsers do?

Edit:

The problem disappears if I simply rename the second field to 'Confirm Password'.

So my problem is solved, but I'll leave this here in case this is some kind of bug.

You're missing a lot of quotes, fix those first.

fbg13, nothing wrong with the missing quotes. That is valid html and does not explain where the "/processwire/" insert comes from.

Valid or not, it is not commonly used and is difficult to read. Nonetheless, it appears you are creating a new password object passing confirm as a parameter. Do you have the namespace set?

[modifiedcontent]

rick, yeah, well, you know, that's just, like, your opinion, man.

Leaving out quotes where they are not necessary is following the html specs by the letter and makes the html a lot cleaner and easier to read than the common quotes within double-quotes within single quotes mess - my text editor gives the classes and ids their own fun colors.

So I guess something in PW somehow interpreted 'new password (confirm)' as code that it has to do something with, instead of plain placeholder text? That bit was inside quotes btw.

I guess it's th file compiler, try to disable it for the template (and clear cache).

Yeah, it's a bug in the file compiler: https://github.com/processwire/processwire-issues/issues/98

As a workaround, replace the space with a  , eg:

<label for=pass2>New Password&nbsp;(Confirm)</label>
