I want to create dropdown list in django forms.
One way is to get the options and pass it to the template from views.py
Other way is via forms.py but i'm not sure how to do that.Although the code to do that is available,it's not usable for me as i want to generate options depending on the user that it logged in(that means using request parameter).Can you suggest how to do that?
The first method of passing via views.py works to the extent of generating a dropdown but i'm not able to get the value of selected option from request.It gives a null value.
Here's my code:
Template
<script type="text/javascript">
$(document).ready(function() {
$('#remove_form').submit(function() { // catch the form's submit event
$.ajax({ // create an AJAX call...
data: $(this).serialize(), // get the form data
type: $(this).attr('method'), // GET or POST
url: '/remove/', // the file to call
success: function(response) { // on success..
$('#test').html("<p style='color:green;margin-left:40%;margin-right:40%;'>Submitted!</p>"); // update the DIV
},
error: function(e, x, r) { // on error..
$('#err').html(e); // update the DIV
}
});
return false;
});
});
</script>
......
......
<form method="POST" id="remove_form" action="">{% csrf_token %}
<select id="remove">
{% for i,p in dropdown %}
<option value="{{i}}">{{p}}</option>
{% endfor %}
</select>
{{remove|crispy}}
<input class="btn btn-primary" type="submit" value="Remove">
</form>
Also note that i'm rendering this form from one view but the data goes into another view for processing via ajax call.
