Because the form is submitted and returned via ajax the usual
mechanism does not work but you can do:
def form():
form=SQLFORM.factory(
Field('name', requires=IS_NOT_EMPTY()))
if form.accepts(request.vars, session):
response.headers['web2py-component-flash'] = 'form accepted'
else:
response.headers['web2py-component-flash'] = 'form has errors'
return form
I.E. place the flash in a HTTP header and web2py will read it and
place it in the flash box.
