If you are using an ajax component, then just set response.flash, and it
will work automatically. For other ajax calls, I think you can trick web2py
into treating it like a component (for flash message purposes) by setting
request.cid=True (or setting it to any value that won't evaluate to False)
-- that will cause web2py to add the message in response.flash to the
"web2py-component-flash" response header, which will be used on the client
side to display the message upon successful completion of the ajax call.
Note, you can also manually set that header:
import urllib2
from gluon.html import xmlescape
response.headers['web2py-component-flash'] = urllib2.quote(xmlescape(
response.flash).replace('\n',''))
