populate form in view

[Iancic Bogdan]

I want to populate a form, besides the input that the user inserts.

This is the code from view:
<script>
        var MattsPublicKeyString = cryptico.publicKeyString(MattsRSAkey);

        print("Matt's public key string:");
        print(MattsPublicKeyString);
</script>
<script type=t"text/javascript">
        document.onload = function(){updateText()};

        function updateText() {
         document.certificate_request_public_key__row.populateme.value =
MattsPublicKeyString;
       }

<h1>{{=T('New Certificate Signing Request')}}</h1>
{{=text}}
<br/>
{{=form}}

The key that I want to insert in the form is correctly displayed but it isint' inserted in the database. What am I doing wrong?

Can we see the form definition from your controller?

sure

form = SQLFORM(db.certificate_request).process()
    if form.accepted:
        response.flash = 'new CSR registered'
        redirect(URL('customerArea','index'))

I'm confused by the use of .process() at the end of your SQLFORM instantiation.

Instead, I would do this:

form = SQLFORM(db.certificate_request)

if form.process().accepted:

    response.flash = 'new CSR registered'

    redirect(URL('customerArea', 'index')

Hope that helps.

There's nothing wrong with calling .process() when the form is first defined. Your code is exactly equivalent to the original.

Thanks for the correction Anthony, I didn't know that.
