Leonel thanks for your help. I did need to put everything in the XML the way I was doing it because otherwise it all gets escaped. But that is because I was basically converting everything to a string first which is not what I wanted so you were right and I was confused.
As far as why not put it in the view, there is no way to re-use those code snipets. I am trying to build code that makes building a table that has control over my little linux based device. The table is the way it makes available to the user to configure and control things. So for example, I will need links in most tables and I need to do it all in controller to have functions defined so that I can use the bit of code that makes the links work from any web page that has a table of stuff to control. Again thanks for your help. -- Resources: - http://web2py.com - http://web2py.com/book (Documentation) - http://github.com/web2py/web2py (Source code) - https://code.google.com/p/web2py/issues/list (Report Issues) --- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "web2py-users" group.
