Thanks Richard.
Here's some simplified code to hopefully clarify what I'm trying to do:
<Model>
db.define_table('record, Field('hidden_field'), Field('non_hidden_fields'))
<Controller>
def index():
grid = SQLFORM.grid(db.record, onvalidate=validate_form)
def validate_form(form):
Check to values in non-hidden fields, do a fairly complex lookup, if a
record is found
in the lookup tables, stick the value in the "hidden_field", otherwise
add a record in
the lookup table and put the ID of the newly created record in the
"hidden_field"
*And do all of the above with "hidden_field" never appearing to the user*,
yet still being able to be modified in the validate_form fx.
I will do your Javascript hide approach if there's no other way to make
this happen. I just assume I was overlooking something....
Many thank,
Marty
