Description


        This function validates the form,
        you can use it instead of directly form.accepts.

        Usage:
        In controller::

            def action():
                form=FORM(INPUT(_name="test", requires=IS_NOT_EMPTY()))
                form.validate() #you can pass some args here - see below
                return dict(form=form)

        This can receive a bunch of arguments

        onsuccess = 'flash' - will show message_onsuccess in response.flash
                    None - will do nothing
                    can be a function (lambda form: pass)
        onfailure = 'flash' - will show message_onfailure in response.flash
                    None - will do nothing
                    can be a function (lambda form: pass)
        onchange = 'flash' - will show message_onchange in response.flash
                    None - will do nothing
                    can be a function (lambda form: pass)

        message_onsuccess
        message_onfailure
        message_onchange
        next      = where to redirect in case of success
        any other kwargs will be passed for form.accepts(...)

SQLFORM.validate.im_class	<type 'type'> extends (<class 'gluon.html.FORM'>,) belongs to class <type 'type'> SQLFORM is used to map a table (and a current record) into an HTML form. Given a Table like db.table Generates an insert form:: SQLFORM(db.table) Generates an update form:: record=db.table[some_id] SQLFORM(db.table, record) Generates an update with a delete button:: SQLFORM(db.table, record, deletable=True) Args: table: `Table` object record: either an int if the `id` is an int, or the record fetched from the table deletable: adds the delete checkbox linkto: the URL of a controller/function to access referencedby records upload: the URL of a controller/function to download an uploaded file fields: a list of fields that should be placed in the form, default is all. labels: a dictionary with labels for each field, keys are the field names. col3: a dictionary with content for an optional third column (right of each field). keys are field names. submit_button: text to show in the submit button delete_label: text to show next to the delete checkbox showid: shows the id of the record readonly: doesn't allow for any modification comments: show comments (stored in `col3` or in Field definition) ignore_rw: overrides readable/writable attributes record_id: used to create session key against CSRF formstyle: what to use to generate the form layout buttons: override buttons as you please (will be also stored in `form.custom.submit`) separator: character as separator between labels and inputs any named optional attribute is passed to the <form> tag for example _class, _id, _style, _action, _method, etc.
