Howdy Matt! Here is a small, complete working sample. When you initially load the page it just displays the choices and prompts you to select a value and click submit. When you submit it, it redisplays the form and then displays what choice you selected.
urls.py: from django.conf.urls.defaults import * urlpatterns = patterns('test.views', (r'^get_select_value/$','get_select_value'), ) views.py: from django.shortcuts import render_to_response def get_select_value(request): if "sample" in request.POST: selected_value = request.POST["sample"] else: selected_value = None return render_to_response("get_select_value.html", {'selected_value' : selected_value}) get_select_value.html (the template): <!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01//EN"> <html lang="en"> <head> <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8"> <title>get_select_value</title> </head> <body> <form action="." method="post"> <p> <select name="sample"> <option value="A">A</option> <option value="B">B</option> <option value="C">C</option> <option value="D">D</option> <option value="E">E</option> </select> <input type="submit" value="Submit" /> </p> </form> {% if selected_value %} <p>You picked {{selected_value}}.</p> {% else %} <p>Choose the value you want and click <em>Submit</em>.</p> {% endif %} </body> </html> --gordy --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Django users" group.
