Thanks to everyone for their responses.
I am a VB and C# programmer for MS Windows Desktops, so I find myself
at a very steep learning curve here.
I have been using web2py for less than a day and am new to programming
with web frameworks. I like what I have seen so far with web2py and
would like to use the framework for future development.
The YUI components do look interesting, however I wouldn't know where
to begin using plugins at this stage.
I have included the very simple code I have done so far in hopes that
someone can point me in the right direction towards accomplishing
this. Articles and/or sample code would be greately appreciated.
Following the suggestion from Massimo, I have attempted a solution via
HTML, but I am not sure where to process the request.vars.
This is what I have so far....
MODEL - db.py
db.define_table('mytest', SQLField('studentname', 'string'), SQLField
('gradeterm1','string'), SQLField('gradeterm2','string'))
CONTROLLER - mytest.py
def index():
myform=SQLFORM(db.mytest,fields=['studentname'])
if myform.accepts(request.vars,session):
response.flash='record added'
myrecords=db().select(db.mytest.ALL)
return dict(form=myform, records=myrecords)
VIEW - mytest/index.html
{{extend 'layout.html'}}
<h1>mytest entry form</h1>
{{=form}}
<h2>Current Records</h2>
<table>
<tr>
<td>Student Name</td>
<td>Grade - Term1</td>
<td>Grade - Term2</td>
</tr>
{{for myrecords in records:}}
<tr>
<td>{{=A(myrecords.studentname)}}</td>
<td><INPUT type="text", name="grade1", value=
{{=myrecords.gradeterm1}}></td>
<td><INPUT type="text", name="grade2", value=
{{=myrecords.gradeterm2}}></td>
</tr>
{{pass}}
</table>
<INPUT type="submit" value="Save"/>
This code gives me a nice form where I can add new students to the db,
and presents me with a list of all students in the db with input boxes
for the 2 term grades for each student.
When I press the Save button after filling in the grades, nothing
happens.
My questions are
1. Upon pressing Save, who is receiving the data entered for the
grades?
2. How can I associate the grade entered in the input boxes with the
student in the row, so I can call the update functions to update the
grades for each student respectively.
Thank you for help and patience.
