Clara I'd suggest to use the full json service support of web2py, makes
everything easier
do the following:
make sure you have the call() method you can find in default.py controller
of welcome application
then write a method like this in default.py:
def dothetest():
return dict()
@service.json
def test(input):
print type(input)
return dict(type=type(input), input=input)
in views/default/dothetest.html write
{{extend 'layout.html'}}
<script>
jQuery.postJSON("{{=URL(), {'message': 'this is a test'}, function (data) {
alert('received: ' + data);}
</script>
browse to http://localhost:8000/<app name>/default/dothetest
