Thanks ...
Niphlod - I'll try to create a minimal app to reproduce.
Cliff - are you suggesting to use the web2py ajax function rather
the jQuery post?
I'm also trying to understand why web2py is intercepting the event and why
it doesn't think the response is succesful which I assume is why the button
is not re-enabled.
