In the section about SQLFORM, the description of hidden fields is demonstrably wrong. The code example is:
form.vars.a = request.vars.a form = SQLFORM(..., hidden=dict(a='b')) Since the variable "form" is created on the second line, it is not available on the first as the target of an assignment. I do not know what the documentation should say, but I suspect its a bit more complex than this simple two-line example. I've been struggling with this most of the day and saving the values from hidden fields still eludes me. I can't assign the fields in an "onvalidation" method because the accepts() logic specifically looks for fields which are in the request.vars and excludes them from the saved fields. I've been tracing thru "validate" and "accept" in FORM and SQLFORM most of the day looking for a crack in the armor to get my hidden fields saved.
