Please remember to use the URL function when generating web2py URLs. This:
ajax('echo', ['name'], 'target')
is wrong. 'echo' is a relative URL, so will simply be appended to the URL
of the current page. It works accidentally when the main grid is loaded
because the page URL is probably just /myapp, so the request goes to
/myapp/echo, which translates to /myapp/default/echo if you've got the
default controller set. However, when the create form is loaded, the URL
will be something like /myapp/new/t-dogs or
/myapp/default/index/new/t-dogs, and the request will go to
/myapp/default/index/new/t-dogs/echo. In that case, the "echo" will simply
be ignored, and you'll just get the grid back. Instead, it should be:
ajax('{{=URL("default", "echo")}}', ['name'], 'target')
When debugging Ajax requests, always check what request is made in the
browser. In this case, you would have seen that the request is going to the
wrong URL.
