Thank you Xavier and Sergiy for your responses. To clarify: I put the following code (see below) into my index.html file and got a page displaying the code (rather than a list) when I rendered it in my browser by my local server:
Could the problem have to do with my file system? I created a directory called 'templates' in the inner 'mysites' folder and created another directory within that called 'polls'. That's where I put the index.html file. And I also edited TEMPLATE_DIRS<https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/1.4/ref/settings/#std:setting-TEMPLATE_DIRS> in my settings.py to tell Django the absolute path to index.html. Any more thoughts about this? Thank you! <html> <head><title>Test</title></head> <body> {% if latest_poll_list %} <ul> {% for poll in latest_poll_list %} <li><a href="/polls/{{ poll.id }}/">{{ poll.question }}</a></li> {% endfor %} </ul> {% else %} <p>No polls are available.</p> {% endif %} </body> </html> On Saturday, November 24, 2012 5:48:29 PM UTC-5, Sergiy Khohlov wrote: > > Near too. > > simple example of your fitst template: > http://www.djangobook.com/en/2.0/chapter04.html > > remove all after <body> to </body> and place your code inside this.... > > 2012/11/25 Luisa Beck <emmi...@gmail.com <javascript:>>: > > I'm in the process of going through the Django tutorials. > > I'm having trouble with loading the index.html file into the browser.
