OK, thanks. The problem with that, as I read the RFC, is that the "current context" means the current URL with everything to the right of the rightmost slash deleted, which isn't going to work very well for web2py URLs, if the intent is a self-reference (unless perhaps the current URL is to the default controller and/or function). Here's why I'm asking: a missing or empty form action is invalid (x)html, and I'm looking for the most concise way of asking for a self- reference. action="." would work fine if the URL ended in a slash, but it does not. The shortest self-reference I can see is: FORM( ..., _action=URL(r=request)) Is that right? > > On Mon, Jul 6, 2009 at 1:44 PM, Jonathan Lundell > <jlund...@pobox.com> wrote: > > The example _action='.' appears in the manual, section 7.2 (SQLForm), > page 168. > > What does that mean? > > --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "web2py Web Framework" group.
