Not sure what you are trying to do, work in the controller or view, or why you are trying to append with JS.
Maybe you could learn to use the web2py helpers... e.g. controller def example(): cart = db(db.cart).select().as_list() mydiv = DIV(cart, _id='Debug_Discount' ) return dict(mydiv=mydiv) view example.html {{=mydiv}} OR e.g. controller def example(): cart = db(db.cart).select() mydiv = DIV(_id='Debug_Discount' ) return dict(mydiv=mydiv, rows=rows) view example.html {{=mydiv}} <hr /> <script> {{ =ASSIGNJS(cart) }} $('#Debug_Discount').html(cart); </script> Not sure whether any of the above will work or help, but just experiment until you learn how best to mix it all together.
