Thanks Bruno, The css sounds like a good choice and I use that for final display, trick is I don't know how to get a preview/play around mode first.
Do I need to have one db.tablename for the image preview upload and then another db.tablename for the final saved version? Currently I have one db.table for storing the upload image and border choice id, but i dont know how to get it so they can preview and play around with borders first before saving it off. I'm looking at an image preview uploader jquery plugin but I don't know how to configure it on web2py. It calls for some server settings and only shows php sample Would you mind taking a look and letting me know how to configure it if you get a chance? its here: http://css-tricks.com/ajax-image-uploading/ Thanks a ton.
