    I'm trying to pre-fill this form field with the username.

    The username was not defined in the code so I added it:
    [PHP]$user =& JFactory::getUser();[/PHP]

    The Form looks like this:
    [PHP]<div class="appLabel"><?php echo JText::_( 'Your name:' ); ?></div>
    <div class="appInput">
    <input class="inputbox hasTip" title="Enter your full name to register an appointment." type="text" name="title" id="title" value="" "/>
    </div>[/PHP]

    where value="" I have tried:

    value="<?php {$user->username} ?>"
    or
    value="{$user->username}"
    or
    value={$user->username}

    ...no joy, what am I doing wrong please?
