Sorry if this is too basic a question. I very new to web programming and Web2py. I have written some desktop applications. Where I'm having trouble right now is understanding exactly how the Python code in Web2py interacts with the HTML. In my desktop GUI apps, a control like a button generates a trigger or callback which I can capture and execute code in response. I'm sure something like this is happening in web apps too, but I'm not quite getting how it works. For example, If I place the following tag in the HTML: <input type="file" name="fileID"> the page will display a button with which I can select a file with the browser's open file dialog. It will even show the file name on the page after selection. What I can't see is how I execute a Python function in response to this selection or how to get the filename to the function. I'm thinking I need some basic instruction in how web programming works so any references would be appreciated. I've been working my way through an on-line HTML tutorial, but it seems that javascript is also important.
