Hi eddwinston,
it all depends on what you are working with, more detail is required.
If your form is based on a table the easiest way to go is to use
SQLFORM, which does NOT mean that you have to display it as generated
(you can use what Yarko or Iceberg suggest). And the validation is a
snap.
If your form is not table based then use FORM and provide your own
validation checks.
Either way when you serialize it in the view with {{=form}} or using a
customized form that includes {{=form.hidden_fields()}} (as suggested
by Massimo) it will have the hidden field _formkey.
Denes.
