Hi, I want that a python program on the server-side can get value of a textfield on the client-side when I press a button. I know the method in the cookbook which use request.var. But to use this method I must use a submitbutton combined with formaction. The problem is when I set the focus on the textfield, the submitbutton will also get focus because they are in the same form. The problem can be solved if I use a normal button insted of a submitbutton. But how can I send the value of the textfield to the python program when I press the normal button?
