What do you mean by needing to do that "in the view"? Do you mean in the browser? If so, that's not the same thing as "in the view". In web2py, the view is a special template that can include Python code. The view is executed on the server, and the output of that execution is what is sent to the browser. The browser does not see any of the Python code (i.e., none of the {{...}} end up in the browser). is there a solution without using jquery? > It's still not clear what you are doing. What are param1 and param2? Are they determined dynamically within the browser? If so, you'll need Javascript to build the URL in the browser (it doesn't have to be jQuery specifically, but some form of Javascript). If param1 and param2 are known on the server at the time the page is being constructed by web2py, then you can simply include them as args in the call to the URL() function. Anthony
