I'm a experienced Python programmer (15+ years), but mostly new to web

Several questions have come up:
1. On SQLFORM and CRUD forms, is there a way to get a cancel button
displayed next to the submit buttons?
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>
Lovely... Once I got rid of the email-induced line breaks. (And figured
out where to put it. :-) )
2. If I want to pre-fill several fields in a form, I know how to do
it with SQLFORM and an assignment like form.vars.xxx=yyy, but is there
such a feature for CRUD forms?
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
Thanks... I'll gladly use the default because it seems cleaner, and
works for crud forms.
However, the form I used (the form.vars.xxx=yyy) comes directly out of
the book. (A section named *Pre-populating the form*.)* * Should that
be updated?
