So I'm trying to use a hidden field to create some unique behavior in a form. I want to send out the field when the form is first created (using the hidden=dict(...) keyword on SQLFORM). But later, while processing the form through the error phase, I want to update that value to a different value using a "form.vars" or "request.post.vars" kind of mechanism. But form.vars does not have hidden fields, and putting in a matching value for my hidden field is ignored when the form is passed back.
I can't change its value in the SQLFORM() process because the new value of the field is only known AFTER form creation and submission. When it comes back, THEN I know what I want the value to be, but by this time the SQLFORM method has re-run and the value of the hidden field is fixed. I'd like something like: form = SQLFORM(.... hidden=dict(a='b') . . . if form.validate(): . . . elif form.errors: form.var.a = 'c' What am I missing? Are hidden fields dumb, one-way-trip only fields? Are they not modifiable along with the other fields? -- Joe -- Resources: - http://web2py.com - http://web2py.com/book (Documentation) - http://github.com/web2py/web2py (Source code) - https://code.google.com/p/web2py/issues/list (Report Issues) --- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "web2py-users" group.
