This is a question of client-server transaction: it does not matter (really) what the client is, or what the server is: The question you ask is a very basic one: the client _somehow_ sends some value; the server _somehow_ sees it. There is actually model-view-controller at each -- client and server -- and a communication channel. SO your question boils down to this: how do you collect what you want on the client (the "M" - model, the data there is the element which contains the test you want; the "V" is how it is displayed, and the "C" - controller is how you respond at that end to user input: click? hover? touch?). Once you have sorted through how you choose to do that - let's say you do an HTML PUT call --- then you will send parameters to your selected controller, which in this case will see some parameters in request.args. Which args you send from client (perhaps you will use javascript; perhaps a jQuery library) and how you send them (submit? PUT? ajax, or not) --- this is one part of your task. The second - at the controller - is seeing the args, ensuring they are the correct vars, and doing something (e.g. storing them) at the server / web2py end. Your question - not a submit button - is about how to do this at the client end. The controller pulling out request.vars (or perhaps even pulling from an uploaded file) --- that should be the relatively easy part. You might start by looking searching www.web2pyslices.com. Try looking at, and understanding the clienttools slice http://www.web2pyslices.com/main/slices/take_slice/8 Hope this is helpful. Regards, Yarko > > Thanks a lot.
