Indeed. While I was waiting for replies I realized my question (and
thinking) was somewhat flawed. What I want to achieve is an SQLFORM.factory
of two tables, t1 and t2, where t2 is placed after t1.this_field instead of
after t1.last_field, visually (all <tr>s)
t1.field
...
t1.this_field
t2.field
...
t2.last_field
t1.field
...
t1.last_field
submit_record
then I want the user to be able to change to a different t2 (ajax load) by
selecting an appropriate value of t1.this_field.
I think it would be simple to output the default combined form - with the
whole of t2 following the whole of t1 - and then move t2's rows in place
with jQuery, but I got deep into this experiment of doing all the form
manipulation using server-side DOM. Maybe I should back out and just do it
with jQuery, though it's less visually appealing.
