To be clear, when you do "view source" in the browser, you see: <a href="http://localhost:8000/web2py_jquery/default/index#null";
I get: <a href="#null <http://localhost:8000/web2py_jquery/default/index#null>" and I don't see how web2py could be generating your version. Of course, if I hover over the link or actually click it, I do get http://localhost:8000/web2py_jquery/default/index#null, as the browser ultimately has to resolve the full absolute URL. But the source itself includes only "#null". Here's the relevant code from the A.xml method: self['_href'] = self['_href'] or '#null' So, if no _href attribute is passed to the helper (as in your code), then _href gets set to '#null' (otherwise, the _href is used as submitted). Your output implies code more like: from gluon import current self['_href'] = self['_href'] or URL(r=current.request, host= True) + '/#null' Anthony On Friday, August 31, 2012 8:10:49 AM UTC-4, Daniel Gonzalez wrote: > > From trunk (github) > > On Friday, August 31, 2012 1:24:40 PM UTC+2, Anthony wrote: >> >> I cannot reproduce this either.
