I mean passing args/vars in main_page():
def main_page():
main_pg=DIV(<any your content>)
m_cont = LOAD(f='*modal_content**.load*', *args=[ <list of your args>],
vars={<dict of your vars> }*, ajax=True, ajax_trap=True )
...
But may be you want to pass something from client side, i.e. args are
defined by some user action.
What exactly do you want to do?
