It should be available in request.vars.DN (and request.post_vars.DN). >From the book:
There is a special hidden attribute. When a dictionary is passed as hidden, its items are translated into "hidden" INPUT fields (see the example for the FORM helper in Chapter 5). form = SQLFORM(....,hidden=...) causes the hidden fields to be passed with the submission, no more, no less. form.accepts(...) is not intended to read the received hidden fields and move them into form.vars. The reason is security. hidden fields can be tampered with. So you have to do explicitly move hidden fields from the request to the form: form.vars.a = request.vars.a form = SQLFORM(..., hidden=dict(a='b')) Anthony On Wednesday, October 10, 2012 9:02:45 AM UTC-4, yashar wrote: > > this is my form: > > form = > SQLFORM(db.records,record_id,showid=False,deletable=True,hidden=dict(DN=DN)) > > but i cannot access form.vars.DN in controler nither in validator > function, in controller in returns error ( DN is not in table ) and in > validator it returns None. > --
