Why don't you just change the view so all of the data fields conditionally display either the form input widget or the read-only div with the data? That seems easier (and much more efficient) than rendering the HTML, parsing the rendered HTML and converting to web2py helpers, replacing the web2py helpers, and then re-rendering the HTML.
