Thanks for the comments. The last names come from a large pool of last names. Only a much smaller number of last names are available for the user to select. So really I am just using web2py's "requires" to force the form to show the available list. Technically, I would then have to validate the selection against the much larger pool of last names. But I don't know what names are in that pool! I don't really have to validate the selection. Just the fact that it was available on the menu means it was valid for this. I know this must sound confusing! In case you must know, this all has to do with letting internal users get accounts on Second Life. We need to create a Web form front end for users to register and so we can keep track of who is doing that. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "web2py-users" group.
