That's not how Ajax works -- you don't just assign a URL to a variable.
Instead, you have to explicitly make an Ajax call. If the web2py ajax()
function isn't suitable, you can use the jQuery .ajax() function
(http://api.jquery.com/jQuery.ajax/). However, I think you can use the
web2py ajax() function in this case, specifying the target as ":eval". That
tells the function that the action will be returning some Javascript to be
executed. So, do:
onclick="ajax({{=URL('lod')}}, ['i1'], ':eval');"
and have the lod action return:
"$('#i2').val('whatever');"
