Good. I tried to help an user with GET forms in #web...@irc.freenode.net some days[1] but I can't because we can't do what he want in a simple way with web2py. So, I ask (and propose): is there an way to implement forms to NOT has names by default? Or implement it in an way that I can ommit form name and form.accepts() works perfectly? I think we can implement that way: - form.accepts() verify if there is request.vars. * If False, form user didn't submit form and form is showed normally. * If True, it does the validation, put errors (or proccess form) etc. The only thing that will change for existing forms is that if user submit a GET form without fill any field, it won't show errors to this user. But if you use POST form, we can show errors because we can send the input 'submit' value in HTTP request (and get it in request.vars) or some other hidden field for control. I think it is not backward incompability and we can set an option 'verify_blank' in GET forms to do it in "old" way (so a new var in query string is needed).
