Hi everyone, I am having problems with a string comparison in a django template and I'd very much appreciate some help here! This template is rendered from a view and gets to variables:
- HTproblemImpact, a dictionary with strings as keys (the "problems") and Impact objects as values. The Impact class has two attributes: description (string) and value (integer). This dictionary contains the default impact for each problem type, which the user could change in the html form that I explain below. - IMPACT_CHOICES, a tuple with the possible impacts, as strings. For instance: IMPACT_CHOICES = ( ("HI", "high"), ("LO", "low"), ... ,) So this is part of my template: <form action="/profiles/setProblems/" method="POST"> {% for problemType, problemImpact in HTproblemImpact.items %} <p>{{ problemType }}: {{ problemImpact.description }} {% for impact in IMPACT_CHOICES %} <input type="radio" name="{{ problemType }}" value="{{ impact.0 }}" {% ifequal str(problemImpact.description) (impact.0) %} checked="true"> {% else %} checked="false"> {% endifequal %} {{ impact.1 }} {% endfor %} </p> {% endfor %} <input type="submit" value="Submit" /> </form> The problem here is that the ifequal tag *always* returns true. I could understand that it always returned false if it was a problem with different string codings, but I don't know how it can be always true. This is the HTML output for this part of the template: <form action="/profiles/setProblems/" method="POST"> <p>ProblemX: ME <input type="radio" name="ProblemX" value="HI" checked="true"> high <input type="radio" name="ProblemX" value="ME" checked="true"> medium <input type="radio" name="ProblemX" value="LO" checked="true"> low <input type="radio" name="ProblemX" value="NO" checked="true"> none </p> <p>ProblemY: ME <input type="radio" name="ProblemY" value="HI" checked="true"> high <input type="radio" name="ProblemY" value="ME" checked="true"> medium <input type="radio" name="ProblemY" value="LO" checked="true"> low <input type="radio" name="ProblemY" value="NO" checked="true"> none </p> <input type="submit" value="Submit" /> </form> Any idea of how to fix it?
