[web2py] Re: form.accepts returning false
Did you look at form.errors to find out why it returns false? If form.errors doesn't exist, the accepts() method didn't see it as having been submitted, and will return false. See Example 28 in http://web2py.com/examples/default/examples for the three cases: unsubmitted, submitted no error, submitted w/ error Rufus

Form.errors is an empty storage object. So... it was unsubmitted ? How is this possible when I'm using the controllers/appadmin.py that comes with web2py ?

If your form doesn't have the default hidden fields, the controller assumes it's a resubmit and fails silently. Check out the book, Chapter 7, SQLFORMS. But why would you want to do this?

I don't believe I've taken the hidden fields out. The only thing I've changed in controllers/appadmin.py deals with redirection based on a remote user. I've written my own workaround, so I guess no one has to spend any more time dealing with this. Thanks for the assistance.

Okay. You can verify what you are getting back from the browser by putting print request.post_vars in your controller right after the call to form.accepts(). Assuming you are using Rocket, the output will show up in the terminal window where you started web2py.py.
