I have a tab control in which I have a peopleeditor in the first tab called “pplowner”. The last tab is a summary of values of controls selected in the other tabs. I have to do this using javascript. currently, I am doing, var elem = document.forms[0].elements; for(var i=0; i < elem.length; i++) { if(elem[i].id.indexOf(“pplOwner”) != -1 && elem[i].id.indexOf(“TextBox”) != -1) users = elem[i].value; } Now, I display the value in users in a label. The poblem that I am facing is, if I delete a value from the peopleeditor’s textbox, I still get the old values in users. Also, the names are displayed as domain/userid, whereas I want it as user’s name as it is shown in the peopleeditor. Can you suggest a solution?

Quick question, have you found a good way to pre-populate a PeopleEditor with a validated entity? What I mean by this is, if you have a workflow and you enter two approvers (Approver A and Approver B) at the beginning, when ApproverA gets his task, he will see a PeopleEditor control pre-populated with ApproverB, which he would be able to change if he wants. Make sense? Any help you could offer would be appreciated.”
