Well as for 'trying' anything I'm still searching for the method that
fits...
So the usual button to redirect to another page I use this
<button type="button" class="btn btn-primary"
onclick="location.href='{{=URL('gameTime')}}'">Done with my squares</button>
What I am trying to do is click a button that does NOT redirect. If I use
a function in defauly.py that has no view in the URL field above, it loads
the generic view as advertised. Grrr. Isn't there just a simple way to
suppress calling the generic view? Just leave the view and retreat into
the controller for a little code parsing? ;)
I'd go down the trapped link route but as I understand it that still
involves loading the page, just not displaying it, and while I could go
create a pretend page it feels too much work- like there ought to be a
switch on the URL helper to just execute code...?
