Re: [Spyce-users] help creating sqlalchemy/sqlsoup code for sql query

[Jonathan E. <jon...@ca...>]

No, a form is not the same as a page.  A form is a group of inputs on a
page that get submitted together.  You can have many forms in a page as
I did in the code I gave.

Another alternative is to have a single form for managing things
(adding, deleting, selecting items) and another (on a different page)
for editing a single old or new item.  Personally I think this is
cleaner but there's nothing wrong with the many-forms approach for
something quick-and-dirty.
