[web2py] Re: Simple ? How to remove Form Name (form :) from FORM Helper
I assume that's not the complete code, as your function doesn't return anything. Does it end with something like: return dict(form=form, ...) And are you using a generic view (i.e., have you defined a contactus.html view)? If you use a generic view and pass a dictionary with more than one item to the generic view, you'll get a table with the dictionary keys in the first column and the values in the second. It looks like that's what you've got.

Thanks Anthony.
Yes, my function ends in
*RAM_Contact_Us/controllers/default.py*
with...
return dict(form=form)
*RAM_Contact_Us/views/default/contactus.html*
contains only this:
{{extend 'layout.html'}}
h3RAM_Contact_Form: Contact Us/h3
{{=BEAUTIFY(response._vars)}}
Here is entire Function - but I'm just starting to work with it.
def contactus():
form=FORM(TABLE(TR(Your name:,INPUT(_type=text,_name=s_name,
requires=IS_NOT_EMPTY())),
TR(Your email:,INPUT(_type=text,_name=s_email,
requires=IS_EMAIL())),
TR(Subject:,INPUT(_type=text,_name=s_subject,
requires=IS_NOT_EMPTY())),
TR(Message,TEXTAREA(_name=s_message, requires=
IS_NOT_EMPTY())),
TR(,INPUT(_type=submit,_value=SUBMIT
if form.process().accepted:
response.flash = T('form accepted')
#RAM_Contact_US
# ref:
http://effbot.org/pyfaq/how-do-i-send-mail-from-a-python-script.htm
FROM = 'Form submission www. - from %s' % form.vars.s_email
TO = [u...@example.com] # must be a list
SUBJECT = Hello! -- + request.application
TEXT = This message was sent with Python's smtplib.
# Prepare actual message
message = \
From: %s
To: %s
Subject: %s
%s
% (FROM, , .join(TO), SUBJECT, TEXT)
# server.sendmail(FROM, TO, message)
mail.send(to='mysgmail.com',
subject=form.vars.s_subject,
message=message,
headers = {'Content-Type' : 'text/plain'}
)
elif form.errors:
response.flash = T('form has errors')
return dict(form=form)

My goal, is to have a simple email form that can be customized... What I have is working, except for the form: being displayed. I wonder if there is a simpler way to create a email form. Thanks Rob --
Re: [web2py] Re: Simple ? How to remove Form Name (form :) from FORM Helper
replace this:
{{=BEAUTIFY(response._vars)}}
with this:
{{=form}}

Thanks!
It worked, and email is sent, and form: is no longer there.
I'm going to to a working sample - might be helpful to others.
Rob
{{extend 'layout.html'}}
h3RAM_Contact_Form: Contact Us/h3
{{=form}}

{{extend 'layout.html'}}
h3RAM_Contact_Form: Contact Us/h3
{{=BEAUTIFY(response._vars)}}
OK, I guess you lifted the BEAUTIFY() line from the generic.load example.
That helper is only used to beautify complex Python objects, like nested
lists and dictionaries (see
http://web2py.com/books/default/chapter/29/5#BEAUTIFY). It's used in the
generic views in order to handle whatever might be returned by the
function, but in a custom view, you generally wouldn't use it.
