Yes you can capture the form submit. Instead of: def user(): .. return dict(form=auth())
you can do: def user(): .. #TODO validate submitted username .. if request.args(0) == 'login' and request.post_vars.username: .. .. request.post_vars.username = request.vars.username = request.post_vars.username[:-1] # remove last character .. return dict(form=auth()) Note you should do things before calling auth().
