One more thing. using form.append() the new item will be appended at the end of the form.
if you want this item to be inserted ina desired position: a.insert(1,INPUT(_name='itemname')) when '1' is the position on index starting at 0, in every form created by SQLFORM the item 0 is <table>, and you can reffer to this table as: form[0].insert() or form[0].append look this example: >>> a = SQLFORM(db.category) >>> a[0] <gluon.html.TABLE object at 0x101f839d0> >>> a[0].insert(1,INPUT(_name='bruno')) >>> print a <form action="" enctype="multipart/form-data" method="post"><table><tr id="category_name__row"><td class="w2p_fl"><label for="category_name" id="category_name__label">Name: </label></td><td class="w2p_fw"><input class="string" id="category_name" name="name" type="text" value="" /></td><td class="w2p_fc"></td></tr><tr><td>*<input name="bruno" type="text" />*</td></tr><tr id="submit_record__row"><td class="w2p_fl"></td><td class="w2p_fw"><input type="submit" value="Submit" /></td><td class="w2p_fc"></td></tr></table></form> 2010/12/13 Bruno Rocha <rochacbr...@gmail.com> > form = SQLFORM(db.table) > myinput = INPUT(_type='text',_name='testing',_value='blablabla') > form.append(myinput) > > Example in shell: > > >>> a = SQLFORM(db.category) > >>> a > <gluon.sqlhtml.SQLFORM object at 0x101c42d50> > >>> print a > <form action="" enctype="multipart/form-data" method="post"><table><tr > id="category_name__row"><td class="w2p_fl"><label for="category_name" > id="category_name__label">Name: </label></td><td class="w2p_fw"><input > class="string" id="category_name" name="name" type="text" value="" > /></td><td class="w2p_fc"></td></tr><tr id="submit_record__row"><td > class="w2p_fl"></td><td class="w2p_fw"><input type="submit" value="Submit" > /></td><td class="w2p_fc"></td></tr></table></form> > >>> a.append(INPUT(_type='text',_name='testing')) > >>> a > <gluon.sqlhtml.SQLFORM object at 0x101c42d50> > >>> print a > <form action="" enctype="multipart/form-data" method="post"><table><tr > id="category_name__row"><td class="w2p_fl"><label for="category_name" > id="category_name__label">Name: </label></td><td class="w2p_fw"><input > class="string" id="category_name" name="name" type="text" value="" > /></td><td class="w2p_fc"></td></tr><tr id="submit_record__row"><td > class="w2p_fl"></td><td class="w2p_fw"><input type="submit" value="Submit" > /></td><td class="w2p_fc"></td></tr></table><input name="testing" > type="text" /></form> > >>> > > > 2010/12/13 Carlos <carlosgali...@gmail.com> > > Hi weheh, >> >> Yes, I've looked at virtual and computed fields, but I believe (not >> sure) they do not provide the behavior I require. >> >> I need a non-persistent field/widget (e.g. checkboxes) in a regular >> persistent SQLFORM, such that the flow after the submit will depend on >> these non-persistent values.
