Alright, this quetion seems like it should have an easy answer and I'm
just missing something. Currently IS_IN_DB is rendered as a drop down
box. What I would like to do is have the user be able to type in an
identification number (which as you can guess is not very easy to find
in a dropdown or autofilled by jquery), and have it validated as being
an ictual I.D in the database upon form submission. I'm currently
using SQLFORM to create the form. Since as I understand it IS_IN_DB
verifies it is in the table by fetching and listing the table entries,
and SQLFORM first validates then submits the form, I'm a bit at a loss
as to how to accomplish this. The only place I can think of putting a
check is in the form accepts, but it has already been sent to the
database by that point. Can what I'm trying to do be accomplished with
SQLFORM or should I be doing something different? Thanks.
