I also like to keep the cheet sheet open while I work. IT is a great QUICK reference, when the searching the Manual takes too long for simply the names of things. http://www.web2py.com/examples/static/web2py_cheatsheet.pdf
For custome HTML forms check the Manual page 194 (SQLFORM in HTML). http://www.scribd.com/doc/19211452/Web2py-Manual Enjoy!
