Hi Massimo,
Thanks for the quick response, but the point is about customizing the
layout. For example, I want the "customer information" and "agent
information" are displayed in separated row, it looks better. I did it
by this:
def add():
form=FORM(TABLE(
TR("Customer Name:", INPUT(...), "Customer Addr", INPUT(...),
"Customer Phone", INPUT(...) ),
TR("Agent Name:", INPUT(...), "Agent Addr", INPUT(...), "Agent
Phone", INPUT(...) ),
......
Now, the question is, how to reuse the same layout in a edit()
controller? This way loses the layout.
def edit():
from=SQLFORM(db.orders, a_record)
Any ideas?
