Thanks. I am having a problem with response.render. Followed example
in the book but the controller below shows test.html but
response.render returns the generic view. Am I missing something?
def test():
customer = db.customer[1]
html = response.render('test.html', dict(customer=customer))
f=open("c:/test.html", "w")
f.write(html)
f.close()
return locals()
