Thanks Alec,
I understand your point of why using helpers will be good. Since this
is my first attempt at web2py, i didn't know that and already have a form
that is coded directly in html with db statements spread into it here and
there...
I can understand why the form object will not exist in memory when the user
submits the form because there is no FORM object created in controller
during execution.
But what about the DOM objects like radio buttons, text area etc in the
html ?. When the view file is processed and the response object is working
on it to generate pure HTML , won't it create a DOM tree structure in
memory. ?. If so, then at the point, before returning the html page to the
user, i should be able to modify the DOM tree. But i don't know how to do
this....
Sorry if this is not making much sense ... But as I am learning web design,
my knowledge is very rudimentary.... Thanks for your help..
