Sorry if I wasn't clear. I wasn't saying that the browser will display the 500 error with link to the ticket, just that web2py will send the 500 response back to the browser -- if it was an Ajax request, the browser might simply ignore the response, unless there is some JS to handle it. If it's a web2py Ajax component, then the error will be displayed in the component div, but if it's some other Ajax call, the browser may not display anything. I don't think web2py will generate an error ticket without sending out a 500 response, though. Anthony
