It works. I think I know what I was doing wrong. I tried
SQLFORM.factory(db.mytable,record=rowid). I suppose it's a little
confusing that factory uses the SQLrow object for record and SQLFORM
uses the record id. I've read and re-read the documentation on both
SQLFORM and SQLFORM.factory and this difference is not clearly stated.
In fact, I can't find in the doc where the record argument to
SQLFORM.factory is described. Regardless, I am ajaxing the form and I
can't seem to do it with SQLFORM, while it is possible with
SQLFORM.factory. There are some nuances here that I just haven't had
the time to investigate to my satisfaction. I think I need to go look
at the gluon code to really understand what's going on. Anyway, thanks
again, DenesL. Much obliged.
