Regarding D7, you now pass ‘variables’ instead. Try modifying the code:

function mymodule_theme() {
return array(
‘cardexpdate’ => array(
‘variables’ => array(‘element’ => NULL))
);
}

Hello! I have a problem.
I tried to do these three examples in Drupal 7 but got nothing. No errors, no output at all. What’s wrong?

Thanks for the good tutorial. This is useful for every one.

I am trying to create a custom form element for Drupal 6 Form API. In Process function, I wrote http://pastebin.com/f4d784832. But this is changing the ID of the element to <>-my-input and Name is changing to <>[my_input]. How do I prevent that?

Also, Can you explain the purpose of:

$parents = $element['#parents'];
$parents[] = ‘part2′;
$element['part2'] = array(
…
);

Can’t we use (When I tried, it is returning some errors):

$element = array(
…
);
