I am trying to just understand where web2py stores the request data, i.e. for various inputs and for buttons, how will I tell which button/ input is being activated by the user.
I am making a simple calculator, and I want some buttons to be type="button", not type "submit". However, once they are type="button", what does web2py use to determine what it should do. What I am looking for here is an example like: default/index.html <input type="button" name="sayhello"></input> default/result/index.html Hello World! How do I get the button on the default/index.html page, to call the default/result/index.html page, and call the helloworld() function in the controller for that page?
