With empty action field I mean:
<form action="" enctype="multipart/form-data" method="post">
and this is not empty action field
<form action="/testapp/default/index" enctype="multipart/form-data"
method="post">
I used this line in my view:
{{=form.custom.begin.replace('action=""', 'action="%s"' % URL('index'))}}
and output in source is:
<form action="/moje0/default/index"
enctype="multipart/form-data" method="post">
and in browser I get this:
<form action="/moje0/default/index" enctype="multipart/form-data"
method="post">
just to put this what I see to code and everything is than resolved.
Thanks
