adding html to SQLform.grid

[Yebach]

Hello

Is it possible to add html (<span>) to SQLFORM.grid. I have a color picker widget and it works ok but it colors the whole field. I would like to add a new html tag inside a table where color picker would be presentet. It is possible to do this inside web2py or do I have to write JS code.

Also in my view grid I would like to have a field where color would be presented. Again. Is it possible to add html inside web2py or is JS or JQuery code needed?

thank you

Hi,

You can do DOM parsing at web2y level with something like:

        grid = SQLFORM.grid(...)
        table = grid.element("table") # or grid[1][0]
        table.insert(0, TR(LABEL('label1:'), INPUT(_name='_myname', _type='text', ....)))

0 for the first, -1 for the last...
