For this, I need to a record from a DB to a page using AJAX so that it
populates an existing form
I can do it already if i just have to return a value such as dog.name
but I need to return a row like "dog"
would can I return a full row from the controller ?
Example:
def ajaxgetissue():
name = request.vars.values()[0]
issue = db(db.issues.title.like(name)).select()
return XXXXXXXXXX <- what goes here so that I can
process in the View side ?
