the input helper takes two special attributes value= and requires=.

value is used to pass the initial value for the input field. value differs from _value because it works for checkboxes, radio, textarea and select/option too. for a checkbox value should be '' or 'on'. for a radio or select/option value should be the _value of the checked/selected item.

requres should be None, or a validator or a list of validators for the value of the field.
