If you're using the AnyTime date/time picker (which currently comes with
web2py), then your <input> element must have a unique 'id' attribute (even
though web2py doesn't use the 'id' to attach AnyTime). This is mentioned
near the bottom of http://www.ama3.com/anytime/, in the "Behavior Issues"
section.
Also, note that AnyTime has just been removed from web2py because it turns
out its license is not compatible with the web2py license. You cannot use
AnyTime for free in a commercial website (that charges users) or in a
website for which the developer was paid. We have reverted to the old
calendar.js -- I'm not sure if that requires the <input> field to have a
unique id.
