I usually do something like this:
<script>
jQuery('input[type=submit]').after('<button onclick="document.location=
\'{{=URL('problem',args=form.record.id)}}\';return
false">cancel<button>');
</script>

Do not do that. user default instead before SQLFORM. For create forms:
db.mytable.byfield.default=yyyy
For update forms:
db.mytable.byfield.update=yyyy
