Thank you gentleman for your answers. I have followed your instructions, but somehow it's not working
So in my controller, I have the following: form=FORM('Date and time: ', INPUT(_name='date', _class='datetime'), INPUT(_type='submit')) return dict(form=form) And my view looks like this: {{extend 'layout.html'}} {{=form}} I have also tried specifically including the web2py_ajax.html file, but the result is still the same. Shouldn't this work?
