You might consider doing this with Ajax components: http://web2py.com/book/default/chapter/13#Components In the view, where you want the initial image and text, do: {{=LOAD('default', 'get_text.load', args=company.id, ajax=True, target='content')}} This assumes a get_text() function in the default controller, and a /default/get_text.load view (you could also just use a get_text.html view, but using a .load view enables you to have a separate .html view if needed -- and the .load extension will propogate to any links clicked within the component as well). Then for the link to switch the content of that component div: {{=A('show timetable', _href=URL('timetable', 'timetable.load', args=company.id), cid='content')}} When the link is clicked, it will call the timetable component and put the result in the 'content' div (cid stands for "component id", which is the div the original component was loaded into). > > ## this bit should be replaced with the timetable > {{if image:}} > <div id="banner" style="text-align:center; height: 120px;"> > ... > </div> <!-- banner --> > {{pass}} > {{if text:}} > <div class="oneColLayout"> > ... > </div> <!-- oneColLayout --> > {{pass}} > ## ends here. > > ## here the link to the timetable (and later to the business card) > <div id= "footer"> > > {{=A('Lesrooster',_href=URL('timetable','timetable',args=[company.id]))}} > It might be easier to go with the component method mentioned above, but you could achieve something similar with: <div id="content"> [initial image and text go here -- using your code from above] </div> {{=A('Lesrooster', callback=URL('timetable', 'timetable', args=company.id), target='content')}} I think this method just uses the ajax() function, not the more sophisticated web2py_component() function that is used for components.
