Joe, If you stay on page 1, it's because you do not pass the args parameter correctly, when doing the redirect. check you pass the variable page to the select() function and also that when you redirect back to index you pass correctly the page as request.args(0)
also simplify your code by removing the select action and by putting in the beginning of the index action: id = request.vars.id if id: name = db(db.post. <http://db.post.id> id==id).update(selected=(db.post.selected==False)) and in the view: {{=A('Select', _id = i.id, _class="btn btn-danger",_href=URL("index#%s" % i.id, args=[page] <http://i.id/>, vars=dict(id=i.id,page=page)))}} {{elif i.selected:}} {{=A('Selected', _id = i.id, _class="btn btn-info",_href=URL("index#%s" % i.id, args=[page] <http://i.id/>, vars=dict(id=i.id, page=page <http://i.id/>)))}} 2015-01-03 22:43 GMT+01:00 Joe <degroupme...@gmail.com>: > Hi Michele, thanks so much for looking at this problem.
