Is This Even Possible: Serve Form Via Ajax

[Mark Billion]

****** Splits the input "name" attribute up => generates a query => creates sqlform => returns form

def ajax_form_creator():

    for k,v in request.vars.iteritems():

        field_array = k.split('-')

        this_page_form = db[field_array[3]].id==field_array[1]

        db[field_array[3]].client.requires=IS_IN_DB(db(db.client.id == x), 

                                                    "client.id", '%(d_ln)s, %(d_fn)s')

        db[field_array[3]].client.default = x    

        

        ajax_form = SQLFORM(db[field_array[3]], this_page_form, deletable=True).process()

        ajax_form['_id']="Ajax_Form"

        return ajax_form

******  Button triggers the above script on click.  The result, the ajax_form, should be sent to the target div         

<form>

   <input name="1-2-street_1-client_address" type="button" onclick="ajax('{{=URL('default', 'ajax_form_creator')}}', [$(this).attr('name')], 'target')" />

</form>

<div id="target"></div>

******

Nothing loads in the target div despite the fact that I know the connection works (i.e., I can get it to load other data into the target).  Should I serialize the SQLFORM object?  If so, how?  Any thoughts are greatly appreciated.

Your action (function ajax_form_creator) should return a dict.

What it returns if you type the url direct in your browser address field?
