I regularly use the SQLFORM.grid, does exactly what I need with very little effort. Recently I've been doing a lot more with AJAX to enhance how my pages look and feel. But when combining AJAX with the grid, my CSV downloads don't work as expected.
In a simple page with only a combobox an empty DIV and small amount of javascript (actually using Nathan Freeze's client tools, excellent bit of kit!), selecting an item from the combobox causes an AJAX call back to web2py. The AJAX call returns an SQLFORM.grid, looks good! But when I click the CSV download button Excel opens up with a bunch of HTML instead of the CSV contents of the grid. In fact it looks like the HTML doesn't include any of the grid's contents. I believe that the CSV URL that gets created by the SQLFORM.grid is presuming that the grid itself is included in the original URL download so that the grid will see the CSV download request. Since the grid is download through AJAX the CSV URL is incorrect and I just get the original HTML with the combobox and empty DIV. Is there a way to "tell" the grid what the actual URL should be for the CSV?
