Hello! I would like to save the JavaScript variable to a web2py session variable. I have tried the following in my view (that has no controller associated with it): function submit_form(input_number, input_egn) { $('input#user_input_number').val(input_number); $('input#user_input_egn').val(input_egn); $.ajax({ type: "POST", url: "http://127.0.0.1:8000/games/xs-software/vaucher.html", data: "{game_id : $ ('input#user_input_number').val(input_number)}" success: function(msg){ alert( "Data Saved: " + msg ); } }); {{session.game_id = 4}} {{if request.vars['game_id']: session.game_id = request.vars['game_id']}} $('form:first').submit(); return false; } , but i receice the following error traceback: 1 Traceback (most recent call last): 2 File "/home/vpetkov/Documents/cashterminal_new/terminal/gluon/ rocket.py", line 1064, in run 3 self.run_app(conn) 4 File "/home/vpetkov/Documents/cashterminal_new/terminal/gluon/ rocket.py", line 1531, in run_app 5 self.environ = environ = self.build_environ(sock_file, conn) 6 File "/home/vpetkov/Documents/cashterminal_new/terminal/gluon/ rocket.py", line 1363, in build_environ 7 request = self.read_request_line(sock_file) 8 File "/home/vpetkov/Documents/cashterminal_new/terminal/gluon/ rocket.py", line 1138, in read_request_line 9 raise SocketTimeout("Socket timed out before request.") 10 SocketTimeout: Socket timed out before request. I mean, does web2py has a way to RECEIVE JavaScript variables FROM Python/web2py templates? Where are they stored? And how to call these JavaScript variables inside {{ }} in a web2py view/template? Thank you in advance for your answers!
