[web2py] form submit to populate a div, ajax style

[Andrew Buchan]

Hi, how do I make the 'accepts' function of a form update some other
part of a form? I can do it with a specific button, but want the
validation provided by the 'accepts' function too....

In View:

<br/><br/>
{{=searchForm}}
<br/><br/>
{{=DIV(_id='searchResults')}

In controller:

if searchForm.accepts(request.vars, formname='search'):
       ajax('performSearch', ['raisedBefore'], 'searchResults') #
doesn't work because ajax is not defined...
