You need to pass a form to the modal... Do you want to embed create, read and update form into modal?
If so, I am not sure if that SQLFORM.grid is the best option or if there is a short cut... But basically to embed something in modal, you need a form... The way to get your form is to use web2py component. You can do that with LOAD command in your view then you just need to wrap those component into modal bootstrap code... And bind a trigger to a botton to make the modal appears... I try to use modal last week or the one before, I am not sure why, but the form tag of the form was clipped away so when I was submitting the form embedded into modal it was submitting all the form included into the page... Didn't investigate (don't have time)... Richard On Thu, Nov 15, 2012 at 2:16 PM, Teddy Nyambe <[email protected]>wrote: > Thanx, it was as you pointed out.
