What I am trying to do is create a controller function that can be
called via ajax and returns some html content along with an SQLFORM.
I've got the content and form to appear on the page, but the SQLFORM
doesn't work as it should. When I submit information from the view
that the generated content has been placed into, the page refreshes
and nothing has been inserted into the database. The calendar widget
for the date field in the form also does not work. When I call the
controller function directly, the calendar widget works fine and the
data submits to the database properly. Here is my controller code:
def buildPage():
content = []
data = xmltools.getData('blah')
template = xmltools.getTemplate(data.tag)
for i in template:
if i.tag == "header":
content.append(H1(i.text))
elif i.tag == "label":
content.append(P(i.text))
elif i.tag == "database":
form = SQLFORM(db[i.text])
content.append(P(form))
else:
content.append(i.tag)
if form.accepts(request.vars,session):
response.flash='new record inserted'
return response.render('default/form.html',dict(page=DIV
(*content)))
and in default/form.html:
{{include 'web2py_ajax.html'}}
{{=page}}
The response.flash also does not work in either circumstance, nor does
form validation. Is this at all the right way I should be approaching
this? I've found posts that do similar things to what I'm trying to
do, but nothing seems to complete the picture.
Looking ahead I also think I may have a problem with how validation is
handled by default. I believe the way SQLFORM reports errors is to
refresh the entire page and do something similar to response.flash. If
I want just the ajaxed div to refresh and not the entire page, how
would I do this with SQLFORM, if it's even possible?
As always, any insight is appreciated.
