LOAD() works like URL(), so, to pass args/vars to modal_content you could write m_cont = LOAD(f='*modal_content**.load*', *args=[ ], vars={ }*, ajax=True, ajax_trap=True ) # see LOAD in web2py book
in modal_content controller there is nothing new, everything is as usual def modal_content(): arg_0 = request.args(0) a = request.vars.a On Friday, February 12, 2016 at 1:16:35 AM UTC+3, billmac...@gmail.com wrote: > > Thank you!
