[web2py] Re: Convert forms to html helpers
I don't think I've seen any such tools. In general, it is not very common to create large static sections of the DOM using the web2py HTML helpers. They are more useful when you need to generate DOM programmatically (e.g., input some form configuration parameters and automatically produce a form DOM, such as how SQLFORM works) -- in that case, though, you would be writing a function to generate the DOM, not merely parsing some existing HTML and converting it to web2py helper code. What exactly are you trying to achieve? Why do you want to convert that HTML markup to web2py helper code? Note, if you just want to parse some existing HTML into a helper *object *that can then be manipulated (rather than producing actual helper *code*), you can use the parsing functionality of the TAG helper as described here: http://web2py.com/books/default/chapter/29/05/the-views#Parsing Anthony On Monday, July 13, 2015 at 9:20:48 AM UTC-4, LoveWeb2py wrote: Hi Stifan, Thank you for replying.

[web2py] Re: Convert forms to html helpers
Do you know if there is anything that converts forms automatically? had you already read the book? web2py provides many way to create a form (FORM, SQLFORM, crud, SQLFORM.grid, SQLFORM.factory, form custom) to convert form automatically, i don't think it have. i think the closer method to catch up with your code is using form.custom, please take a look at the book. ref: http://web2py.com/books/default/chapter/29/07/forms-and-validators#Custom-forms best regards, stifan -- Resources: - http://web2py.com - http://web2py.com/book (Documentation) - http://github.com/web2py/web2py (Source code) - https://code.google.com/p/web2py/issues/list (Report Issues) --- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups web2py-users group.

Parsing!! Not sure how I missed that. Thank you, Anthony. This is exactly what I was looking for. On Monday, July 13, 2015 at 9:41:09 AM UTC-4, Anthony wrote: I don't think I've seen any such tools.
