sorry Massimo to insist upon this but I would like to get it clear.
I understand this: if you want to validate one field you have to put
that field in the FORM() of the controller, this duplication is the
trade off to get validation.
So this is the way to preserve validation:
Controller:
def index():
form=FORM(INPUT(_name='test', requires=IS_NOT_EMPTY()))
if form.accepts(request.vars,session=None,formname='test'):
response.flash='form accepted'
elif form.errors:
response.flash='form has errors'
else:
response.flash='please fill the form'
return dict()
View:
<form>
<input name='test' type='text' />
<input type='submit' />
<input type='hidden' name='_formname' value='test' />
</form>
thanks
carlo
