Thanks a bunch, Massimo. I completely overlooked the "hidden" thing in the FORM source, but the first answer is what I was looking for.
I need to add an extra button to a SQLFORM, like "Save and Add another". I could put it outside the form but it looks really bad, any recommendations here ? By the way, did you ever think of turning the SQLFORM generation into divs instead of a table ? Thanks again, Deodoro Filho Em 09/10/2008, às 18:04, mdipierro escreveu: > > Good questions.
