Answer 1

If it's a SQLFORM, you can specify the class when you create the form:

form = SQLFORM(db.mytable, _class='myclass')

Otherwise, form.custom.begin simply produces the following HTML:

<form action="" enctype="multipart/form-data" method="post">

so instead of using form.custom.begin, you could simply enter that HTML (with your class added) directly into the template.
