You need to make ajax call... There is web2py ajax, but you may need something more powerfull : jQuery.ajax().
I assume that if you need to pass data back to controller function it because you want to display or modified your form base on the input value... I will need more information in order to help you and I may be not the best at this, but there is surely more experienced user that will help. Would you show you call back function and explain what you want to do once you have pass the input value to this function.
