Thank you for the answer Massimo. I did this like you said to put the form in the body in index/popup.html however, it didn't pop up like the example in the link above. Instead I got it in the same browser. I am guessing my implementation is wrong.
<div class="modal fade"> <div class="modal-dialog"> <div class="modal-content"> <div class="modal-header"> <button type="button" class="close" data-dismiss="modal" aria-hidden="true">×</button> <h4 class="modal-title">Modal title</h4> </div> <div class="modal-body"> {{=form}} </div> <div class="modal-footer"> <button type="button" class="btn btn-default" data-dismiss="modal">Close</button> <button type="button" class="btn btn-primary">Save changes</button> </div> </div><!-- /.modal-content --> </div><!-- /.modal-dialog --> </div><!-- /.modal --> On Wednesday, February 10, 2016 at 5:06:28 PM UTC-5, Massimo Di Pierro wrote: > > Bootstrap3 has built-int modals: > https://nakupanda.github.io/bootstrap3-dialog/ > You can but {{=form}} in the body of the modal. > > On Tuesday, 9 February 2016 14:26:05 UTC-6, billmac...@gmail.com > <javascript:> wrote: >> >> Hello, A new user migrating from Django to web2py and absolutely loving >> it.
