That sounds like it might work. I will look into it.
Re: jQuery
It becomes very messy when you have to do that. It is fine when the
developer does the design and coding, but when working in a team you
can't do that. You need to have a system in place where you have to do
minimal modification/additional code to make the design work with the
already enormous amounts of logic code.
It should be built into the SQLFORM widget object. It doesn't seem so
complicated to do. I will look into it and see.
Though I am not intending to do anything that would affect backward
compatibility here, this is rather a simple modification of what is
already there and maybe add an additional optional field that takes a
dictionary to modify the dictionary created by SQLFORM.custom.widget
