This question also comes up a lot, there should be a FAQ and this should be in it...
getitemtags That is your function. You want to have jQuery call your function, and parse the json... instead of trying to mix javascript in your view (which you are lucky if it works at all) you should just write javascript, and let javascript handle calling the database. Now there are a few ways to do this. In jQuery you can use an 'ajax()' call, though that is very low level, and difficult. You can also use a 'get()' call, which is easier... There is also a third option, using web2py.js and the 'ajax()' function call, which is just for Web2Py. http://api.jquery.com/jQuery.get/ http://web2py.com/books/default/chapter/29/11/jquery-and-ajax#The-ajax-function My recommendation is to try the web2py 'ajax' function, if that doesn't do what you want then try the jQuery.get function.
