Got it, thanks! The last thing is how do I get only the function1.load to
insert into myid and not the returned dict of function1 as well. It does
both right now.
{{=A('link',_href='#', _onclick="jQuery(this).fadeOut(); \
web2py_component('%s', 'myid'); return false;" % URL('default',
'function1.load', vars=dict(s=parameter)))}}
