Dear Massimo,
In the book ref
http://web2py.com/books/default/chapter/29/07#SQLFORM-in-HTML
The "associated "default/display_manual_form.html" view:" now says:
{{extend 'layout.html'}}
<form>
<ul>
<li>Your name is <input name="name" /></li>
</ul>
<input type="submit" />
<input type="hidden" name="_formname" value="test" />
</form>
Anthony's fix changed the first line. As it now works for me, the whole
thing should be:
{{extend 'layout.html'}}
<form action="#" enctype="multipart/form-data" method="post">
<ul>
<li>Your name is <input name="name" /></li>
</ul>
<input type="submit" />
<input type="hidden" name="_formname" value="test" />
</form>
The above triggers a "form accepted" message and adds an entry to the db.
Thanks for the help, Massimo.
Love and peace,
Joe
