Hi Richard, Thanks for you reply.
I had some problem with jQuery UI too, most were gone by using 1.8.16 ship > with web2py (uncomment line in the layout that point to google api). That version introduced another problem, the auto complete's list wasn't displayed properly, besides, it didn't fix the issue I described above, which has something to do with a change in web2py between versions 1.99.7 and 2.0.2, which hasn't been fixed in 2.0.7. Kind regards, Annet --
