There is one more issue. In normal case, (without overriding the click event), I could supply request.args to controller function through URL('controller', args[n1,n2,..]).
In this case, since the click event is handled (overridden) by $ ("#anchorname").dialog({..., how do I supply args to the jquery-ui modal form? (it is on the same view.html, called in modal form) Note: in the <td> element below, _onclick="{{URL( in the link is overridden, so it does not work. [CODE] <tbody> {{for department in departments:}} <tr> <td>{{=department['deptid']}}</td> <td>{{=department['deptnm']}}</td> <td> {{=A('edit',_onclick="{{URL('DIV on same page', args=[department['deptid'],department['deptnm']]}}",_class='edturl')}} ## this {{=URL doestn't work, bcoz it is overridden in javascript {{=A('delete',_onclick="{{URL('DIV on same page',args=[department['deptid'],department['deptnm']]}}",_class='delurl')}} </td> </tr> {{pass}} </tbody> $(document).ready(function() { $('.edturl').click(function(e){ $("#deptEdt").dialog({ height: 200, width:500, modal: true, show: "blind", hide: "explode" }); }); }); [/CODE] ---vineet On Sep 30, 9:26 pm, Vineet <vineet.deod...@gmail.com> wrote: > Oops.
