Lets see if I get this right. In the view, place this: <form><input type="hidden" id="xID" name="picID" value=""/></form> {{=clickme}} then in the controller:
for image in imageRows: clickme.append(TAG.button(IMG(..image..),_type="button", _onclick="jQuery('#xID').val('%d');ajax('%s', ['picID'])" \ % (image.id ,URL('default','functionThatAddsToDatabase',extension='load', user_signature=True))) ) calls the function def functionThatAddsToDatabase(): # get the image id image_id=request.vars.picID On Monday, March 14, 2016 at 5:20:15 PM UTC-7, Leonel Câmara wrote: > > Make a form with a hidden input and a submit button.
