Works ok for me on Mac Safari, Chrome and Firefox. Make sure to first create at least one room with a status *other* than "verified". You won't see anything happen if the status is already "verified".
This one may show it more clearly. It will toggle the status between
"booked" and "verified".
=== default.py ===
def update_status():
room = db(db.room.id==request.vars.id).select().first()
if room.status=='verified':
room.update_record(status='booked')
else:
room.update_record(status='verified')
return room.status
=== index.html ===
{{extend 'layout.html'}}
<form><input type="hidden" id="id" name="id" value="" /></form>
<ul>
{{for room in rooms:}}
<li>{{=room.name}} <a href='#'
onclick="jQuery('#id').val('{{=room.id}}'); ajax('update_status', ['id'],
'room{{=room.id}}');">[toggle]</a> <span
id="room{{=room.id}}">{{=room.status}}</span></li>
{{pass}}
</ul>
