I do not understand the purpose of all this. Why not:
{{=form.custom.begin}}
{{#<!-- Add header here -->}}
{{=form.element['table']}}
{{#<!-- Add footer here -->}}
{{=DIV(form.custom.end[1] # hidden field}}
{{#<!-- Add submit/cancel buttons here - you may even not use the submit
variable -->}}
{{=INPUT('extra button'}}
{{=form.custom.end[0] # </form>}}
Notice there is also a form.add_button(....) in trunk.
