If your function returns a dictionary, web2py assumes you want to execute a view. If you haven't created a view, it will use generic.html (by default, this only works for local requests). If you just want to return the raw HTML generated in the controller without then executing a view, then just return the HTML (i.e., no dictionary).
Additionally, you might want to consider building the HTML using the web2py HTML helpers rather than building it via strings. In that case, you can just return the final HTML helper, and it will automatically be converted to an HTML string before returning to the browser. If you do actually have a view that is being executed and you want to insert raw HTML, you would wrap it in XML() (though, again, you could instead just use the web2py HTML helpers and not bother with XML()).
