[web2py] Re: web2py using "foreign" form

[Scott Hunter]

That's what I would have thought, but if I have the following in my view:

<form action="{{=URL(c='pay',f='charge',args=request.args)}}" method="POST">
  <script
    src="https://checkout.stripe.com/checkout.js"; class="stripe-button"
    data-email="{{=auth.user.email}}"
    data-key="{{=pk}}"
    data-amount="{{=amount}}"
    data-name="UKI TMS"
    data-description="{{=description}}"
    data-image=
"https://stripe.com/img/documentation/checkout/marketplace.png";
    data-panel-label="{{=label}}"
    data-locale="auto">
  </script>
</form>

and the following in my `pay` controller:

def charge():
    return DIV("%r"%request,_class="well")



the displayed value of `request._post_vars` is None.  Same thing if I don't 
specify `args` in the action URL, or leave the action URL empty (and 
display `request.env` from the appropriate controller).

Poking around the DOM, I see that there is *another* form inside of mine, 
and this is the form which contains the "submit" button (along with all of 
the input fields).

Even more confused now,
Scott
