this sounds very interesting, definitely a nice addition. Although I hope the current SQLFORM will not be deprecated. Usually I prefer to create my html forms server side. I use a function to extract all form elements so I can create my forms more flexible, maybe this is useful for others:
def get_form_fields(form): formfields = dict() for c in form.elements('input, select, textarea'): name = c.attributes['_id'] formfields['c_' + name] = c for l in form.elements('label'): name = l.attributes['_for'] formfields['l_' + name] = l return dict(form=form,**formfields) in the view I can access each field (input/label) individually, e.g. <form> <div>{{=l_first_name}} {{c_first_name}}</div> <div>{{=l_last_name}} {{c_last_name}}</div> </form> Alex -- Resources: - http://web2py.com - http://web2py.com/book (Documentation) - http://github.com/web2py/web2py (Source code) - https://code.google.com/p/web2py/issues/list (Report Issues) --- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "web2py-users" group.
