A few things…
1)
- args takes a list
- vars takes a dict
do you mean to use vars instead of args?
2) If deploy_name is a field in the form, and you want to get the value of
it on clicking the button, you need to use javascript, like jQuery or the
likes.
3) Actually I am not sure what you want to achieve, so I can only guess,
and I may be wrong.
- By default, web2py will submit the form to itself and return back the
original form. You can call other functions from within that function.
- In your quoted case (the button's code), clicking on the button only
takes the user to another page instead of submitting the form.
