Hi Anthony, Thanks for your note. Like I said, I understand the helpful comments on fixing the <button onclick...> issue.
However, what is unclear to me still is Massimo's (and yours here - https://groups.google.com/forum/?fromgroups#!searchin/web2py/custom$20form$20jquery/web2py/7Meea7Ul0o8/4ZdrD9hP5MEJ ) comments on form processing.. Massimo pointed out that, a la Jonas' post, that you cannot do - form=crud.create(db.comments) if form.process().accepted ...yet I have: form = SQLFORM.factory(*fields) if form.accepts(request, session): ...and that also seems to be wrong (no doubt, since process() is a shortcut for accepts(), they are doing the same thing). BUT I am not sure how to correct it - you both said that process is getting called twice. OK, if I shouldn't use 'if form.accepts(request, session): ' then what should I use to process (and call validation on) the form once the user clicks 'Submit' ?
