Basically, quick and dirty way to display the search bar on the top of the site using smartgrid without showing the table. Then when someone put a query and hit, "search", be able to redirect to another page. That way, the prototype will be complete without writing a customized search routine. Once it works, then I could go do all the hard work of writing up the search bar that search through my table based on user query.
Do you know a way to make a search bar on the top of a page in web2py (like one we have on this page or yahoo.com or any other page. Except, I don't want the web search. Search based on whats in my table/database), and then when someone type something redirect that to a page where the table is displayed? It should be a very common feature to have since every page I visit now a days seem to have a search bar with auto completion on upper right corner. It seems I am the only one who needs it. lol. I don't know why its such a big deal for web2py community. Why js? Why can't be done using a python script or web2py routine? Just curious. Since, my only purpose of using python and web2py framework that I don't know jscript that well.
