There is the solution to pass the table.id as an argument and then
make an additional query to the database in tables_info to get the
table but i don't like this solution because i already have the row
from a previous query.
An extra question, now in the div i present inside index
<div class="tables_info">
{{=type(table)}}
{{=table.key}}
</div>
i add an
{{=A("Like", _href=URL('default', 'like', extension=False))}}
which is a function in another controller ('default') that changes the
value of 'like' (is a field of table like {{=table.key}} in the above
example)
How do i trigger the refresh of the div? The example in the book has a
submit form that refreshes the page, but in my case there is not but
still a value has changed. I guess that i should do something in my
like function
in default.py
def like():
table_id = request.args(0)
table = db.my_table[table_id]
like = table.like + 1
table.update_record(like=like)
# something here ??????
Thanks for all the help
