[web2py] request.vars from Javascript

[AsmanCom]

Hi,

I need to retrieve the request.vars from an JavaScript Object.

controller code:

form.append(INPUT( _id="buttonid", _type="button", _class="my_button",
_name="buttonName", _value="Off"))

and then i want to get the value from this, like so:

if request.vars.buttonName == "Off":
    do anything


But it doesn´t work.

Could you explain how to achieve  this?

TXH
