You're right. The example I gave isn't holding up anymore! (I swear, I didn't change my code since my last post!) I'm getting tickets in firebug for f3() not being defined - which makes sense. (Btw, I find it easier to click the most recent ticket from the "error" menu in a pre-existing ticket tab - rather than cutting and pasting from firebug.)
I think it may be related to some other odd behavior I can't figure out: I keep on having to redefine the first argument of my ajax() functions as 'project/default/function' sometimes, and other times just 'function.' It seems random. I'll post back when I can either duplicate the scenario I described above or figure out what's going on with the ajax() URL root..

Any thoughts on how to avoid errorless ajax bugs like this? -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "web2py-users" group.
