After a little digging around on the web I found out why I was powertable was generating errors with the latest web2py.
jquery version 1.8 requires jquery-ui-1.8.22 I went to http://jqueryui.com/ and downloaded legacy v1.8.24 which provided jquery-ui-1.8.24.custom.zip. This zip file included jquery-ui-1.8.24.custom.min.js which I then copied to static/plugin_powertable/ui/js I modified models/powertable.py to load it: response.files.append(URL(r=request,c='static',f='plugin_powertable/ui/css/%s/jquery-ui-1.8.24.custom.css' % theme)) After taking these steps, the error messages are gone and now powertable works with no problems.
