[web2py] Custom forms controller and view separation of concerns

[Austin Cormier]

So I have the following customer form defined in my view for prototyping:

form = FORM(FIELDSET(DIV(LABEL('Email Address', 
                                _class="control-label"), 
                         DIV(INPUT(_class="input-large", _id="email", 
                                   _name='email', requires=IS_NOT_EMPTY()), 
                             _class="controls"), 
                     _class="control-group"),
                     DIV(DIV(BUTTON("Add Email", _type='submit', 
_class="btn"), 
                             _class="controls"), 
                     _class="control-group"),                               
                                                                            
                                       
             _class="gebo"),
       _class="form-horizontal")

The issue is that I need to define the form in the controller so that I can 
run through the form accept (don't want to do that in the views).  Even 
though I'm doing this in the controller, I would like the view to be 
responsible for styling the form.  Are there any useful techniques anyone 
knows of so that I can do this in a reusable and maintainable way across my 
application?
