Thank you for your reply, Michael & Anthony.
Michael: I really like this idea. What would my model look like?
I setup db.define_table('status',
Field('id','integer'),
Field('normal','string'),
Field('warning','string'),
migrate=False)
Would I have to populate the fields or can we just use the field names... I
want to make it to where the referenced table allows me to choose a color
for the selected column of interest (or cell).
So if my column looked like this:
Item | status
server | 1
The server cell would be green.Could I do this?
