yes. The first view, lets call it formula.
for this example, just a tiny button with a pencil on it <button class="btn" id="formula" title="clic para editar nombre" type= "button" onclick="web2py_component('{{=URL('default','formula_general.load ')}}', 'panel')"> <i class="icon-pencil"></i></button> <div id ="panel" width="100%"></div> It calls the controler called 'formula_general' def formula_general(): fields = ['nombre'] record = session.formula form = SQLFORM(db.formulas, record, fields=fields) request.post_vars.id = session.formula if form.process().accepted: response.flash = 'actualizado' redirect(request.env.http_web2py_component_location, client_side=True )# Need it to reload the main page after editing fields, so the change are reflected instantly. elif form.errors: response.flash = 'favor revisar' return dict(form=form) in the new view (formula _general.load) just showing the form and nothing else (don't extend layout.html) : <form action="#" enctype="multipart/form-data" method="post" data-w2p_target="panel"> <input type="hidden" name="_formname" value="{{=form.formname}}" /> <input type="hidden" name="_formkey" value="{{=form.formkey}}" /> {{=form.custom.widget.nombre}} {{=form.custom.submit}} <button class="btn" id="cancelar" onclick="web2py_component('{{ =URL('default','nada.load')}}', 'panel')"> Cancelar</button> Here you show the form (in this example Its a one field form, plus a Cancel button if the user decides not to edit. Change is showed instantly. In the event that the users clic on 'cancel', then I created a controller just for that, called 'nada' (spanish for 'nothing') That controller just returns nothing, thus hiding the form (it could be done via jquery though.
