[web2py] generic.html controller wide?

I was thinking that it would be nice if I could make a director in the views folder matching a controller name, but then just put a file in there called 'generic.html' that would apply to any function called in that controller. Perhaps there is another way to do this. Thanks, Tobiah --

[web2py] Get result set back as list?

I'm in a situation where I just want a single column back from a table. I'd like it as a list so I could just pass it on to the next function. All I can think of is something like: temp = [] for thing in db(db.mytable).select(db.mytable.myfield): temp.append(th

[web2py] BR()

In my own html generating libraries, I normally allow an integer argument to the maker, which is a count of how many tags to put out. So: {{=BR(5)}} could output This works out since the BR tag can't have any components anyway. Just a thought. I find it useful at times. Tobiah --

[web2py] callback on an anchor tag

Working through the html helper docs, I decided to try the callback parameter to the anchor tag: {{=A("CLICK ME!!", callback=URL('http://mysite.com/foo.html'), target='hater')}} {{=DIV(_id = 'hater')}} foo.html delivers a bit of content. This did not work. Viewing the source, I see that the
