The display went well because i filled a session with a constant "Ed" and not a result of a db().select(). So, the constant variable was displayed without a hitch. When i used db().select() the display went like: [{'first_name': 'Ed'}] The above display is the result of the following code: Controller: if form.accepts(request.vars, session): em=request.vars.emailad name1 = db(db.auth_user.email==em).select(db.auth_user.first_name) [0] name=name1.first_name return dict(red=redirect(URL(r=request,f='loggedin')), name=name) .................. View: {{extend 'layout2.html'}} <p> <p><h3>Hi {{=name}}</h3></p> <p> ................. This was the result of the view, "Hi [{'first_name': 'Ed'}]". I've googled and searched the manual and tried examples but to no avail. Thanks in advance.
