tried this snippet of code from the web2py book, but it doesnt work
the way I feel it should
def display_manual_form():
form = SQLFORM(db.person)
if form.accepts(request.vars, formname='test'):
response.flash = 'form accepted'
elif form.errors:
response.flash = 'form has errors'
else:
response.flash = 'please fill the form'
return dict()
{{extend 'layout.html'}}
<form>
<ul>
<li>Your name is <input name="name" /></li>
</ul>
<input type="submit" />
<input type="hidden" name="_formname" value="test" />
</form>
On submission, if there are errors in the form, it doesnt display any
error messages. why is this so?
