Thanks it worked.
Sorry to bother you again :) One last question : With custom forms, I am
seeing only one difference from SQLFORM, validator error message is coming
on complete line in custom text i.e. RED color background is seen for the
complete line in browser while with the SQLFORM, it used to be upto the
width of entry field only.
Do you know how to control it?
Below is the code :
{{extend 'layout.html'}}
{{=form.custom.begin}}
Name {=form.custom.widget.name}}
{{=form.custom.end}}
