The args keyword is also used to pass ALL parameters to grid urls. Suppose you call grid/5 controller. This calls grid(customer==request.args(0)). Now if you hit the Export button on the grid then it calls grid/csv which fails because the query is looking for customer=="csv". However if you do grid(customer==request.args(0), args=request.args). Now if you hit the Export button it calls grid/5/csv.
Grid is brilliant but IMO would be better if it remembered the original query or allowed you to pass named parameters using request.vars. The book says it is experimental - are there any plans to change the interface?
