here is one possible solution (may contain typos)
def index():
form1=SQLFORM(db.electrical_ticket)
form2=SQLFORM(dbmechanical_ticket)
if form1.accepts(..): ...
if form2.accepts(..):....
return dict(form1=form1,form2=form2)
in view/default/index.html
<form>
<select name="type" id="ticket_type">
<option value="electical">electrical</option><option
value="mechanical">mechanical</option>
<select>
</form>
<div class="myform electrical">{{=form1}}</div>
<div class="myform mechanical">{{=form2}}</div>
<script>
function hide() { $(".myform").hide(); }
$(document).ready(function() { hide(); });
$("#ticket_type").change(function() { hide(); $('.'+$(this).val
()).slideToggle(); })
</script>
