omg, i figured it out. i had to drill down one more layer. uform[0][0][1][0]['value']
where, form is the form element itself, the first [0] is the table, the second [0] is the first TR line of the table, the [1] is the TD element of the TR line, and the last [0] is the INPUT element under the TD. i had a brainy storm. thanx, lucas -- Resources: - http://web2py.com - http://web2py.com/book (Documentation) - http://github.com/web2py/web2py (Source code) - https://code.google.com/p/web2py/issues/list (Report Issues) --- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "web2py-users" group.
