Massimo, thanks for the reply. I would appreciate if you can clarify what I should do since it is not passing validation on dotcloud. Is this a dotcloud problem and should I inform them about this.
Or, is it a problem with web2py version 2.0.9 (2012-09-13 23:51:30) stable and should I upgrade to the trunk to solve this? Thank you.
