This is a three step process:
1) disable JS validation as float for this field
form.element('input[name=height]')['_class']='feet'
2) create a custom validator that filters data in and formats data out
class FEET:
def __init__(self,error_message='invalid'):
self.error_message=error_message
And in the controller/view, you can use db.foo.height.represent =
lambda v: 'xx feet yy inch zz fraction' to display it, therefore you
need not depend on javascript.

Oops hit send by accident.
so after the form.accepts(request.vars, session), you'll need code to
convert the feet, inches, and fractions to a double and stuff it into
the database. Some of the more experienced web2py users may have a
better way, but this approach is working for me.

I've been using SQLFORM.factory() for cases where what's in the db
needs to be presented to the user in a different format. The online
book has some good examples. For your case, my first thought would be
to define a function in the model that generates the form, e.g.
def fooform():
fields =
4 matches
