Perfect! Thanks!! These tidbit examples are invaluable!
As I learn web2py, I am taking notes of where I get stuck, in order to eventually provide suggestions for improving the doc/manual from the novice's eyes (once you already know everything, it isn't as obvious what's missing). The documentation and manual are already quite excellent, part of the reason why I chose web2py (besides, the very clean, structured design, and power!). This is a great example because it shows - how to combine logical expressions to select between user data and a default - how to use URL and IMG with uploaded and static data (didn't find that in the manual or online examples) I'm also re-reading the HTML Helpers in "The VIews" chapter :) ..and now on to the really hard stuff ... making everything look good ... Thank you!!! Luis.
