[web2py] Re: web2py ajax javascript function question regarding return from post request
It's not quite clear what you are asking. Note, the third argument to ajax() is not a function but the CSS id of the DOM element where the returned HTML should be inserted. If instead of returning and inserting some HTML you would like to run some Javascript code upon completion of the Ajax call, you can specify :eval as the third argument, in which case, the Ajax return value will be treated as Javascript code and run.

I can always go the $.post option but this function has a very clean syntax and is very convenient so I would like to stay with this function. Any help greatly appreciated.
