web2py redirect issues a standard http redirect, so the address will change in the browser address bar. I believe you were using jQuery Mobile and Ajax, which apparently introduces some complications (not specific to web2py). For a regular application, a standard redirect should work fine. In any case, I don't think peter is looking for just a redirect -- he wants to grab a copy of a page, edit it, and return the edited version -- quite a different task.
