It must be me being new to Python (and web2py) but I can't seem to get this to work, plus I think creating a whole new class and instantiating and object for something this simple is a bit of overkill (maybe I'm wrong)...
Where does web2py include its html.py and provide access to those functions? If I could see that code I can review it and probably learn/ understand how to accomplish what I am looking for much easier than asking you for step-by-step.
