Yes! You right, I am just the man in the midle on this one...
I have someone that tries the stuff for me. We try also to get the hidden form stuff with form.hidden_fields() as you suggest and get all the thing done from the controller... The form html seems valid html form but it failed to submit... Anyway, wrapping the form with begin and end in the view is find for now. If we get time we will look at web2py and try to make it works from the controller Thanks Anthony. Richard On Tue, Feb 4, 2014 at 11:13 AM, Anthony <[email protected]> wrote: > Seems fine, then.
