[web2py] We need a new plan for javascript validators

I'm well into the development of my commercial website and I find I am running afoul of the built-in javascript validators in web2py more and more. If the validators were useless, the decision to just cut them out of the code and be done with it would be easy and simple. But they do have their

lass = 'date' becomes: class MyDateWidget(StringWidget): _class = 'anything_but_date_here' Reading thru the code I can see there is a lot of power in the widgets. I can muck with "requires", "represents", etc. in addition to the input class. Joe On Sunday,

[web2py] Re: We need a new plan for javascript validators

I seem to keep underestimating the widget classes and their power. Reading the code I can see that widgets pretty much "own" the fields and their representation in all respects. I can change input class, "represents", "requires" and pretty much anything else the Field needs to show itself.

[web2py] Re: "required" class for required fields

I just discovered that dictform and smartdictform override my "requires" and add their own, based on the type of the Field. It somewhat defeats the purpose of having a custom widget. -- Joe On Sunday, August 25, 2013 7:51:30 AM UTC-7, Niphlod wrote: > > -1 on the patch. > &

You are a wizard Mr. Niphlod. Using "default" does indeed work where presetting the form.vars does not. I now have a path that works so I am a happy camper! -- Joe B. On Friday, September 20, 2013 11:57:24 AM UTC-7, Niphlod wrote: > > what if you edit a pre-existing record
