I was only suggesting doing that first line manually, not the entire form.
When web2py serializes a form, it includes two hidden fields -- _formname
and _formkey, which are needed for processing. Those fields are included as
part of {{=form.custom.end}}, or you can insert them directly via
{{=form.hidden_fields()}}. The values of those fields are stored in
form.formname and form.formkey as well.
