My fields of type 'decimal' are being classed as 'string' in forms. Is this a Web2py bug or could the problem be in my code somewhere?
1.99.4
Field('start_price', 'decimal(17,2)')
<tr id="item_start_price__row"><td class="w2p_fl"><label
for="item_start_price" id="item_start_price__label">Start Price:
</label></td><td class="w2p_fw"><input class="string" id="item_start_price"
name="start_price" type="text" value="" /></td><td class="w2p_fc"></td></tr>
