Caveat to that, is there a way to have to SQLFORM top and bottom like the 
picture attached?

Its more like a django kind of admin panel feature. But in web2py, can we 
have the post and comment (two tables), embedded so when someone click on 
the blue "plus" sign a comment box shows up and people insert the comment 
on each post. Its one to many relationship (like attached picture). 

If someone really trying to know what I mean by that, here is the class 
definition generated for django.


class Post(models.Model):
    created_at = models.DateTimeField(auto_now_add=True, db_index=True)
    title = models.CharField(max_length=255)
    slug = models.SlugField()
    body = models.TextField()
    comments = models.ManyToManyField('Comment')

    def get_absolute_url(self):
        return reverse('post', kwargs={"slug": self.slug})

    def __unicode__(self):
        return self.title

    class Meta:
        ordering = ["-created_at"]


class Comment(models.Model):
    created_at = models.DateTimeField(auto_now_add=True)
    body = models.TextField(verbose_name="Comment")
    author = models.CharField(verbose_name="Name", max_length=255)


By the way, this app thats call "web2py.app.dummy.w2p", please be aware 
that it has some nasty nested stuff in it. Once I installed it was crawling 
all over desktop and wouldn't uninstall except from the DOS mode. Not fair.
