The rendering does not require any particular css or js. It did use css for the style of the input fields and textareas. Now it relies on boostrap.css for that. Whether this change was a good idea I am not completely sure of. web2py.js is not required for forms. It is required for slashing messages, client side form validation, and components (forms submitted via ajax).
