I'm trying to add a hidden form to a SQLFORM using the sample code on p. 331 of the 4th edition book (pdf):
form.vars.a = request.vars.a form = SQLFORM(..., hidden=dict(a='b')) When I submit the form, though, I get an error because I'm calling the variable 'form' before assignment. If I reverse the order of these two lines (so that form is declared first) the form doesn't process the hidden field. My workaround was to write an onvalidation method that adds the hidden form during processing. But this feels like a hack. Is this really an error, or am I just missing something?
